Doesn't look woody to me. I'd agree with penstemon - except that Uncle says it isn't! Oh dear, lots of plants have leaves like that, such as Michaelmas daisies and Golden Rod. I think the dark leaves could because they are old.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Well thanks everyone, I think that I will have to go with the majority and assume that it is a Penstemon............Time will tell, Thanks anyway. I am new to this site and I think perhaps I shall make use of it.

Could it be a penstemon?
i think it's a Penstemon as well.
What a smashing plant that cutting has turned into
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Those stems are too woody for a pemstemon. It has a look of a type of willow for me, but more than happy to be proved wrong mind you.
Is it a type of Buddlia?
dont think its penstemon.
I am quite familiar with Penstemon, its not a penstemon. It has spent its time in a unheated greenhouse,
I think it is a Buddleia too. Are the stems woody? if yes then probably a Buddleia. If soft then a Penstemon.
