Yes, it is advisable to cut back penstemon plants in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Trimming them helps remove dead or damaged stems and encourages healthy growth. You can cut them back to about 6-12 inches above the ground, depending on the variety. This practice promotes better air circulation and can enhance flowering.
