Penstemon 'Blueberry Fudge' a gift from Amy..:o)

Very nice ...

Thanks,I love the colour..I hope I manage to keep it going,Shirley,as sadly, the one you sent me,died,and I tried overwintering it too..It musn't have liked living in Yorkshire..but your Osmanthus does :o) x

That has done so well and is a striking colour.

Nice name too - probably coz it is something I can eat!!

Isn't it pretty,Chris? it does sound good enough to eat...I like the name too,but it reminds me more of Raspberry,by the colour..mmm,combine with fudge...lovely :o)

Very pretty Sandra lovely name agree more raspberry then blueberry colourwise! :o)

Thanks Neellan,I'm rather pleased it's more of a raspberry colour,as it's near a purple Bowles Mauve,so it's a nice contrast :o),

Lovely :o)

That's pretty :)

Lovely,is the right word,Neellan :o) and thank you Julia,I shall endeavour to keep it going for next year,as I believe it isn't a hardy one...

Oh dear, good luck. Mulch it well.

Sandra, I think some folk do have problems with growing Penstemons. I cannot get Scabious to thrive in my garden, shame as I love them! Give your Penstemon lots of TLC!!!

I will bring inside for the winter,Julia..It survived ok last winter as a small cutting..:o).

I think you are right,Shirley..I was sad to lose yours,so I will see if this one does better..I think you said the one you gave me was hardy,but not hardy enough here,it seems..:o(

I think I sent you P. Miniature Bells, Sandra ... described as a hardy perennial! Oh well, win some, lose some :o)

Yes,that was the one,Shirley..I think it was one of those extremely bad winters too,so a lot of things died off then ...

Sounds like a good plan Sandra. :))

That Penstemon is gorgeous Sandra just been out to see if mine is budding and guess what Its disappeared ;0(

I think so too,Julia..I don't have many of those :o)

Oh dear,Carole..I think you have Gremlins in your garden ! Lol
