Penstemon and Astrantia Cuttings

 

I have always been successful in taking pieces out of healthy Penstemons and transplanting in the borders. This year a Penstemon Plum Jerkum has gone from the wildflower bed into the main border as above.

Two bits of Penstemon Firebird (above and below) have made their way down the garden in much poorer soil. We shall see how they do.

And now a piece of the Astrantia Snow Star has left the long border and gone into the main border for the first time.

The Astrantia Roma in the main border has also been joined by three roots of Astrantia Venice from J Parkers, but I'm waiting to see if those purple tips will develop into a proper flower.
