Verdun, if you live in an area with severe winters then penstemon aren't hardy. I love them, but they usually die in winter. I can't keep cuttings easily in winter, GH isn't heated, no window sills in French houses, and house sitters kill them.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
...lovely photos everyone...I could just eat those strawberries...
talking of Penstemons... here's one of mine... I quite like the 'Pensham' strain... this is Pensham Laura... borderline hardy where I am, it seems to have disappeared this season... I might try again...

I had the Clematis end of last season for 50p, its simple to look after, you just chop it down every spring!
I love my Penstemon, I hacked it right back around March time and its come back up absolutely beautiful
