They grew but flopped over immediately, not standing upright like in the picture. The few flowers are light pink, not red. Even after staking them in their pots, I gave up because they looked messy and awful. Replanted them in a hummingbird upside down planter, one in top and one in bottom. Now they look decent, draping over the sides of the planter, and recently we got our first hummingbirds.  -  Sunday, August 14, 2011 Penstemon Reviewed By: Beverly (Kemp, Texas) You need to change your description, they are not red but pink. I planted mine back in the spring. They are blooming and the Hummingbirds love them. They are tall and they do lean over which is the look I like. I am ordering two more they are great fillers in a bed.  -  Thursday, February 02, 2012 Disappointed Reviewed By: Kim (Pembroke, NH) I bought 2 of these along with licorice mint - these were not red by any means very pale pink - almost white, not happy at all!
