Penstemon cuttings .. doing well ..

Well done Amy, never have much joy with these......

My OH always takes the Penstemon cuttings Angela he likes doing it and has quite a large collection ...

Wow well done Tony you are going to have quite a show next season ;0)

Tony works quietly behind the scenes Carole I'll tell him he'll be pleased .. :o)

I must have a go myself. They look really Healthy.

These look very healthy Amy. Mine are going strong too.You''ve got a good selection there,none of these though, perhaps a swap might be on the cards? Well done Tony!10/10 lol.

sounds like a good idea Val , I get muddled with Penstemons as they bring out so many different named ones each year I'm convinced they are the same with different names ,many look identical to the ones we already have to me ! we have several still in flower .. BTW I found out by accident that if you peg a good stem down it will grow roots easily, free plants , I've grown a lot in that way ! Have a go Suey you will be surprised ...

another speices for me to check out! intriguing names ...

Will try that Amy.... thanks for the tip:-)

I think I will have a go with the pegging down method, might have better luck.?

A good job well done, congratulations to OH. My greenhouse looks a bit deserted still. Local garden centre has run out of potting compost (!) so I have plenty of pots but nothing to put in them.

A job very well done - looks like he has quite an enterprise at his fingertips!!!

How nice to have your own Nurseryman,Amy ! Lol your Tony has done a great job,and thanks for the tip about pegging the stems down..good idea..but you realise you might be doing OH out of a job? ..are you sure you aren't in politics,? Lol xx

Gee what a shame, and all those lovely pots to fill lets hope they hurry up in getting some more in ! this is one job he likes doing Chris , Ha ha Sandra if he's good at something I'm letting him get on with it !! Not really Homebird he's more the " you tell me what wants doing and I'll do it " he's does the heavy stuff I'm pleased to say !

Ajajaj! A LOT of work in the cooking pot....

I have taken some too. I hope to get them through the winter. fingers crossed.

I'm sure you will Linda ,the trick we have found is to not water them unless they are really dry and then only enough to keep them going otherwise they rot off .... I usually water them when needed in the tray at the bottom rather than the top....

Me too Linda. So far they are looking good. There is a huge one in the garden. I can't wait to see what colour...my money is on blue though. The previous owner definitely loved blue, and there is a huge clump of blue gentians which I'm thrilled to see as I've never been able to grow them myself!

Great advice Amy! Thank you!

Good luck :o))
