This heavy bloomer gets its name from the way each flower bud swells before its starry petals unfold. Balloon flowers are one of the easiest perennials you'll ever grow, and they bloom in profusion in mid to late summer, when many other perennials are beginning to fade. The plants form a low, neat mound and bear 2- to 3-inch cuplike blossoms. Balloon flowers are a cottage garden standard, excellent for cutting. To make the flowers last in the vase, sear the stems with a match or candle flame immediately after cutting. They thrive in full sun or light shade in well-drained garden soil. They appreciate a little afternoon shade in zones 7-8. You won't find a more carefree perennial! Just work a little slow-release fertilizer into the soil in spring, and pick off the flowers as they fade to encourage more blooms. Moderate drought conditions aren't a problem, but it helps to water the plants deeply when the soil dries out too much or if drought conditions persist. Balloon flowers are seldom bothered by insects, and they are very cold-hardy. Plan the plant's position carefully and mark it to avoid weeding it out in early spring, for spring growth is late to appear.

Penstemons come from areas with rough growing conditions and should never be exposed to wet or damp earth. A thin, rocky soil in full sun is best. Penstemon species are often used in xeriscape landscaping, as many are native to desert or alpine regions and thus quite hardy. Native Americans long used Penstemon roots to relieve toothache. Foliage is evergreen in warmer climates. Tubular flowers are in clusters atop strong stems, somewhat like foxglove, and blooming from spring into summer. Plants are best set out in groups so that a mass of flowers is in view. Cut back each stem after flowering to a place just above a set of leaves that show new growth. You may get another flowering later in the summer or early fall. Wait until all chance of a freeze is over, then cut back your penstemon, leaving stems that are just 6 inches long. This way, the plant will bush out and have a more compact form.
