| I'm looking for Penstemons that have the best flowering in the red to dark pink range. I'm especially interested to hear from those in temperate zones on the east coast since we get a lot more rain than those gardeners in Penstemon's native range. |

| Rouge, that's an excellent suggestion. I actually used to grow that penstemon until winter wet claimed it. |

| But isnt that the problem a2zmom...you are looking for a penstemon which might be able to put up with a bit more wetness than is traditionally the case with these plants? (Btw, I was under the assumption that this "Riding Hood" line-up of penstemons were a relatively new introduction...when did you have yours?) |

| I grew it just a few years ago. And it does put up with more adverse conditions than most penstemons. Its fairly short, so I wouldn't mind trying to find one a bit taller. The winter I lost it, I lost many, many plants - all my Agastache, my Gaillardia, a whole host of other plants. I'm still in the midst of filling in the holes. |
