Oh yes! I have this one and its much taller than my others. Also flowers for ages. A great plant. Very healthy and hardier than most penstemons. I’m never sure whether it is Plum Jerkum or Rich Ruby. But I think its Rich Ruby.!

Our garden is full of Penstemons OH took loads of cuttings before we moved they are only just beginning to bloom ..

Checked, and phew...I have labelled it correctly. Amy, they arent really getting going here yet, but they never do much before July here.

We have not grown them for about 5 years, must remember to keep taking cuttings, can't be beaten for a long flowering perennial.....used to grow a lot in the Midlands.....

The cuttings always seem to be better than the older plants, cause I forget to cut them back and they get a bit woody. Yours look good.
