Plants
Are these penstemon seedlings or willowherb. They are growing at the base of a dead fushia that needs to come out so thought I'd check first.

I think weed. I have never had penstemon self seed in the garden.
You don't stop doing new things because you get old, you get old because you stop doing new things.

Thought so Fidget. I know cuttings are the way to go with penstemon but these are close to one so thought I had struck it lucky. Thank you.
