Comment: Bought 3 of these. I hve other Penstemon varieties and its a really good plant and does well in 7b. All three are in the ground and thought they did not flower this yeaer, they appear healthy. They should survive winter in 7b and I hope to see red blooms in the xoming year. Also, Penstemon are easy to grow from stem cuttings, so another plus for this plant.
