Dorjac, Are you really going to plant out penstemon now? I always take the cuttings to save, frost free, as I've lost so many left in the garden over the winter in the past.

I will plant out the well grown ones that have been out of my mini greenhouse for some time and keep the others, taken more recently, in this tiny shelter. Here, in Essex, they are winter hardy. I can't recall losing any, even in the worst winters, and I've grown then for a long time.

I am about to pinch out my successful cuttings, as they are growing a bit leggy. There are plenty of sideshoots to grow on instead of upwards. Weather permitting they will probably be planted out quite soon anyway, when I can get round to it, preferably before we get any frost. They are about a foot tall so far.
