Penstemon 'Blue Springs'

I know what you mean Karen, this is lovely...:>)

OOh - you and me both! Lovely colour - have never seen these before.

It's a shorter growing one than the usuals, and claims to be hardier. It's very similar to the blue one I had in the past that just wouldn't grow, but a different name, so here's hoping!

yes that's a lovely one :-)

I bought a deep pink penstemon last year Karen - was guaranteed it was hardy - it's coming on great - a wee bit more sun and it will be gorgeous.
I was advised to cut the stems back to 8 inches for the winter and cut the dead stems out when new foliage appeared. I did give it a wee bit straw for luck. What's her face from Beechgrove Garden was serving me giving out the advice!!
First time I've ever brought a penstemon through winter - mind you - I would not have described our winter this year as winter!!

No, we had a fairly mild one this year, although we had more frosts than usual by quite a long way...but no snow thankfully!

This one is very pretty, have added it to favs/list :o)

:) Thanks!
