Hi . I bought some Penstemon red garnet plugs last autumn and potted them up. I am thinking of planting them out, but they have got a bit straggley. Do I plant them as they are or do I cut them back a bit. If I cut them back do Ido it before or after planting out. Thanks

my thoughts exactly. plant them out and give a light trim. trimings make good new cuttings too.

Thanks for info. Will do as soon as it stops raining if it ever does

Now is a good time to trim back Penstemons. Don't cut them too hard back, but down to some nice new shoots. Use the bits as cuttings for more plants, too!
