They,ve done so well in such a short time Carole , before I started taking Penstemon cuttings I had found that if you lay a stem on the ground and peg it down with a bent wire like a clip of some sort , when you go back after a few weeks it has grown roots , you can then snip it off re -set it and you have another plant , I did a lot like that ...
