Hummingbird Garden

plant id please

14 years ago

I had bought this plant and it was labeled PENSTEMON BARBATUS COCCINEUS 'SCARLET'. But I am pretty sure this isn't that plant. I was thinking that maybe it could be limonium latifolium sea lavender/statice? I would like to know what it is so I can plant it accordingly. I got it last year so it hasn't bloomed yet for me.have any Ideas?

I have no idea, but the perennial forum here on the gardenweb is more active than this forum and the most knowledgeable one for this question.

Im afraid I have no idea about this plant and what Ken says is true this forum is not too active right now , not nearly as active as network54 but when the hummers start arriveing it will definately perkup in activity.

Im guessing that is not too far away. Last year I had my earliest arrival ever 4-25. With the warm weather pattern going on this year that record has a chance to be broken but with hummers you can never be certain.

thank you very much I ended up posting this in another forum as well and a few people said it did look like a penstemon.
