Do penstemons get blackspot? I have some young plants that are in an open cold frame that are near flowering and have noticed a few black spots on the leaves (they were mail order so I like to see the flower colour before planting out!!).

Not really, if you're thinking of black spot as in roses - they do get foliar diseases though - botrytis leaf mould causes dark brown spots.

Thanks Bamboo. Any treatment for this or just remove affected leaves.

Well I hope it isn't botrytis - advice with that is to remove and destroy affected plants, so hopefully it isn't that... just wait and see how bad they get.
