Love verbascums. All kinds.

I like the spires of flowers, not too keen on the huge leaves on this one though. On the plus side, the slugs ignore them.

How lovely it looks too Shirley. I'm afraid the one you sent me hasn't done so well and I don't understand why.
I've grown them in the past all around the garden and I thought it would come on really well. The penstemon is looking strong and healthy though..☺️

Janey, that's a shame. I actually moved one as the leaves were too big for the position it was in, it has recovered and is showing a couple of 'spikes'.

Good luck with the Penstemon. I think it was 'Garnet' variety?

Yes it was. I'm looking forward to seeing it bloom.
