Is it Penstemon? I'm not that hot on identifying things but I did a google search of Penstemon and it looked similar.

Agree, it is a Penstemon, but which one is not easy, there are an awful lot of them!

Hello

Thank you i took a stem to me local garden center and he told me it was a penstemon "Heavenly Blue"

It's very pretty plant i have no idea where it came from as i planted all the plants 18 months ago.
Never another edition to brighten the garden.
