Thrives in Clay/Essex/United Kingdom
ive not seen this plant before blooms in early spring quite fast growing keeps leaves throughout winter grows in winter cuttings in water in winter shrub / tree ? any one out there that could name this plant would be welcome thankyou
Photographer: pool173
I think this is a hybrid Penstemon (family Scropbulariaceae) and probably is Penstemon Hartweggi which is a cross between Penstemon and a member of the Gloxinioides family. An indication of the height would help with identification. Can grow up to 2 - 3
