New plants from Madrone Nursery, February 2006
I received this small gulf Brazos
Penstemon as a free gift from Madrone
Nursery when I ordered my Hinkley
Columbine. The plants were a little wilted after their trasport in
the mail, but I potted the plant when it arrived and it has done well.
After trimming back some of the dead leaves, it has grown slowly and
steadily and is almost ready to flower.
It is still in the pot near the porch
steps where it gets filtered sun. I am hesitant to plant it out in the
garden because I don't want it to die. I know it is a native perrenial,
but I am not sure if it is sturdy enough to stay in the ground over
winter, or if I should keep it potted and plant it out next spring
with more penstemon plants.
Decisions, decisions...
with more penstemon plants.
