Lovely Penstemon Moti...I love them in the garden...Never tried growing in a Pot...but it's definitely an option...love the Pot too...

Yes, me too. It's so good to see a once tired, almost dead plant flourish (especially when it's a fraction of the original price! : o )))

Not so lucky here Constance, 50% off even if i'ts dead already....

Crissue, the Penstemon is still in the pot it came in..all it needed was a good drink and feed, there is lots of cutting material on it, which i intend to make the most of...The big grey pot was given to me by my brother from his GC about 10 years ago, he planted it up with Lilium 'stargazer', he and his wife have both now retired..I agree Constance, i head straight to the reduced area when i visit b&q....That doesnt sound good Crissue....how can anyone sell dead plants!!!!

Easy if they can get away with it...lol...In my delivery today I have Penstemon heterophyllus Zuriblau, a beautiful Electric Blue...should be stunning next year....
