Ooops another plant I haven't added to my garden will have to see if it has a label, dwarf variety only about 12inches tall.

I was so pleased with my pink Penstemon, bought a packet of mixed seed, must prick them out and keep those slugs off them.

I take cuttings from mine, strike easily, I find it useful as they are not always really hardy are they. Never thought of growing from seed.
