I love penstemons. Ever since I introduced them to my garden a few years ago, they have flowered reliably for long periods over the warmer months. When you consider that the poor things have been moved from here to there and back again, over and over, you would think they'd just go and die on me, but they don't. Mine remain pretty much in leaf over winter and I think the leaves probably protect the roots and heart of the plant from frost. Then, come spring, when the weather warms up, I tidy them up with my secateurs, pruning them back to stop them being leggy, and they're off again!
