Pretty Penstemon :o)

I have this one Daylily, and it's flowering so well from plug plants bought in the early Summer. Brill colour, I am going to try and mingle it with a cerise pink Achillea I planted in summer too, they look lovely together.

thanks terratoonie,
thanks bellflower, i was thinking of doing just that too as i have a few cerise pink achillea and i was hoping to take some cuttings from the penstemon but havent got round to it, i also have some pink echinacea which they would go nicely with too x

We will have to compare notes in the Summer Daylily and see how we went on! Is it too late to get your cutting now then?

Yes something for us to aim for because i am terrible at making decisions on where and how to plant things i am very indecisive! i was wondering if it will be too late to take the cuttings but i suppose i could have a go, i think the best time is september but i wont be able to do this for a week or two so im not sure if they will take x
ps this was a cutting a couple of years ago

My cuttings rooted very quickly and I took them about a month ago but I would think if the weather doesn't get too bad and you keep them sheltered it may be worth a go. Good luck with it if you do!

thanks bellflower :^)
