How to Prune Foxglove beardtongue?
(Penstemon digitalis)
Foxglove beardtongue, also known as Digitalis penstemon
This perennial is recognized for its tall spires of tubular flowers and lance-shaped foliage. For optimal health and bloom, prune foxglove beardtongue after the first frost to remove spent stalks and encourage next season's growth. Cutting back by a third in early spring promotes bushier growth and more flowers. Deadheading during late summer enhances appearance and prevents inadvertent spread by self-seeding. Pruning benefits include disease prevention and rejuvenation of foxglove beardtongue's vigor.
