Penstemon ' Phoenix Pink '

Hi Amy
I never grow Penstemons but I think I will give them a try next year as I would like the late flowers. This is a nice one.

Another pretty one very much like the first one, they flower for such a long timetoo;0)

You must give them a go Linda , I'm sure you will be very pleased with them , they aren't fussy and flower all summer long and come in so many different colours ....
There are so many Carole , I use to know them but I can't say that now , I'm sure they change their names each year to make a selling point ,a lot of them look identical to me .......

Beautiful Amy. They are so lovely - do you save seeds? Mine seem to have ripe seeds but dont know if its viable to sow them?

I notice a lot of people taking cuttings Dawnsaunt.

Really, thanks Linda, your comment rings a bell actually, hopefully Amy will fill me in :-)

I take cuttings Dawn they take easily and are much quicker , another way I found out was to pull down a stalk peg it to the ground with something ,even a kitchen bag tie will do bent over if it's long enough ,leave it there until the spring and with luck you will have a nice new plant ready to move ... good luck ..

Very pretty Amy, will try the pegging down, not heard that done before with penstemons.

lovely penstemons Amy...

I hope it works for you Dd , I found out by accident as I found a stalk had become buried when I freed it from the soil it had roots growing from it ... Thanks Elsie :o)

Thanks brilliant info Amy, thank you. What month do you take your cuttings of these?

I have just taken some this month Dawn so easy to root!

Yes Dawn as Carole has said you will still be alright to take some now .. I will always have a go so long as the plants is still looking green and healthy they're not as delicate as they look ... :o)

Thanks Pansy/Amy. I did peg a couple of shoots down yesterday and today I'll take some cuttings. :-)
