Beardtongue (Penstemon 'Prairie Twilight') should be watered with about 1 inch of water per week, either from rain or from a watering can. Water should be applied to the soil directly around the base of the plant, taking care to keep the foliage dry. Water the soil until it is moist, but not saturated. Ensure the soil is given sufficient time to dry between waterings. It is best to water in the morning and avoid heavy watering in the evening when temperatures are low.

Beardtongue (Penstemon 'Prairie Twilight') is a plant species that grows best in full sun. It requires at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. It should be planted in an area that receives direct sunlight during the middle of the day for best performance. It will also tolerate some afternoon shade. If this species is planted in the shade, it will produce fewer blooms and will become leggy. So, for optimal growth, this plant should be planted in a location that receives full sun for 6 to 8 hours a day.

Beardtongue (Penstemon 'Prairie Twilight') should typically be pruned in late winter or early spring just before new growth begins. To help maintain the desired size and shape of the plant, remove any unruly or dead growth and thin out any overgrown sections. This will help to encourage air circulation and better flowering. It is best to avoid overly drastic pruning as it can damage the plant. Instead, just remove as much as necessary to shape the plant and trim back excess growth.
