Thank you for sharing . Again straight to Favourites. The Penstemon are very pretty. How old are they? Did you grow them from seed?

They are both lovely. The P. hirsutus pygmaeus is one of the ones that flowered for me. Sadly I missed seeing the flowers so no photos. The other which flowered in July/August was P. hirsutus minimus which grows much taller, up to two feet. It had loads of flowers. I have posted a photo of it.
