This Ed Hume Sensation Mixed Colors seed mix took a while to get going in the spring, but hit their stride in mid summer, filling out and flowering as a vigorous wonder. Popular with hummingbirds, now in October, the plant is looking unfazed by the increasingly tumultuous weather, which heartens me for their sake. Knowing more about Penstemon, however, I might not have chosen this particular cultivar, for its almost gaudy flower colors.
