This plant suffered in the winter, but it has survived.

It only has this one flower, Denise. I'll look and see whether there are any more on the way...I might take some cuttings, I think.
No idea, Homebird! ;-)

Thank you....I 'did' look, and there are more flower stems coming.
I'll tell you a little story...I bought this as a tiny cutting at the village fair 5 years ago - it said 'Penstemon - pink' on the label. It cost me all of 10p....so I was a bit surprised when it flowered the following year....pink? Not really! Arlene told me its name at last year's open day. :-))) Good value, wasn't it!

Well I have P Sour grapes this year and I was expecting it to be Pink/Purple Spritz? But mine has not flowered yet.

Oh dear - maybe Arlene was wrong then, although she seemed pretty sure....I'll do a google, I think. I'll be interested in seeing yours, Denise, to compare them.
