Lovely and colourful Merlin. You may live North of me but your penstemons are ahead of mine and my Rogersia is showing no sign of a flower yet |

I've taken cuttings but hope to take more as most stems had flowers on. |

Very pretty merlin. I saw those primula at the GS and was very tempted until I saw the price tag They are Penny's but I managed to turn one into three earlier on. Considering it's a raised bed they seem to be happy there. |

I tried Primula vialii on the stream bank, but they didn't reappear after the winter. Maybe it was my 'friends' the snails!  I think they're really lovely plants. |

Mucho bueno 'G' no problem SP I normally sow them now but this time I'm going to take a risk and rely on the 'hardies' !!!! I'll probably regreat it though. |

I lost several Penstemens but the 'Electric Blue' survived, it was in a raised bed.

I think they're really lovely plants.
