Go on the Hayloft site and up in the right hand corner click on magazine offers then scroll down to The Telegraph and it is the first offer (top left).

That same offer is in the paper again this week. I might keep hold of the advert and order them in the new year.

Never seen all my penstemons looking so green and healthy at this time of the year. The 20 babies in the mini grow house are doing well except for a bit of mildew so have moved them down to a shelf where they should get a bit more air. The babies are in mpc and a mixture of vermiculite and have bearly been watered and I'm really pleased that all 20 are still going strong!

Nearly all mine in the garden are looking 'lush' this winter - I'm just hoping we don't get a harsh time of it in the next three months, they've been lulled into a false sense of security!! There are just two which don't look so good, both red ones I think  The water rooted cuttings I potted on and have in the front bedroom are growing like mad, shame I muddled all the bits of stem up and have no idea what they are  x Tig |

All mine are looking good. None of the ones in the ground have lost any greenery or died back and all the squillions of cuttings in the greenhouse are growing apace :)Hope it dries up a bit but stays mild for the next few weeks and it should be plain sailing  |

The only non plain sailing bit Auricula is going to be both of us trying to find space for all the babies ;D |

Been cutting mine back in the beds and borders - they all have loads of new growth at the base of the stems and hardly any have shed any leaves - some are ( were) still in flower, but it had to be done  |

I'm guessing "the pointy bit" is back to its usual winters.....mild and damp, but I wouldn't cut them back yet in Chilly Cambs if I were you Missy ;D

I have a feeling you will be fine down there on the pointy bit Auricula! Hope we will be fine here too but you never know.  |

I've tucked all my babies into the wall greenhouse so they're safe and sound. It isn't heated.

I've just ordered the 10 rare penstemon collection that Hayloft are offering at the moment. They were £9.95 so less than £1 each.

Post by Auricula on Jan 29, 2012 12:04:05 GMT
Hmm... they're not really "rare" are they Jasmine ;D but I'm going to order them anyway because of the 2 you mentioned........and....you can never have too many penstemons ;D

Post by Jasmine on Jan 29, 2012 12:46:06 GMT
Not what I'd call rare Auricula - I've got 8 of them but I do like the look of the 2 new Ice cream ones..and like you say - you can NEVER have too many penstemons  |
