     A couple are up in the garden, but more in the tunnel CharleyD

    Mine are mostly labelled, but I bought about 12 and went on holiday for 3 months. When I came back the labels were blank. image

    I've got them all together in one bed hoping one day  a visitor might ID them.

    Oh dear.  I do love your style though ... "bought about 12" ... hostas are very, very addictive image.

  • I planted  a red penstemon  several years  ago. Have never  pruned it,  just   occasional  bits for indoors. It has become  very leggy. Is it too late  to cut it back, If not, when and how much to remove please. Will climate  change have affected when to do it. It seems mostly  people do it  after   flowering ( it flowered  well into Nov  in 2023.) or March to May

    Welcome @margaretwr1475215. If you look back to the start of this old thread from 2016 you should find an answer. If no one replies then start a new thread of your own.
