    I have no knowledge of flowers. Never grown any before or cared for them. I have loads on the allotment.

    Is there something wrong with this flower?

    Can't quite work out what it is, tossing up between penstemon or sweet William. If it's the latter, it's probably dying off after flowering. If it's a penstemon, I think I'd just pick off the manky leaves, give it a feed and see what happens.

      I think it's a Penstemon too. They are a bit prone to having old leaves rot, but as Wendy says, if you pick them off and let it get on with it they often recover just fine.

        Thanks, I am sure I am will be on here asking loads of more questions about flowers as I do not have a clue.

        I've just googled what you said and it looks like a Penstemon that I have got.

          I use a mix of six scoops of compost three scoops of sand/grit and two scoops of perlite,the quantity is unimportant as long as the ratio is the same, if for seeds I use this mix, if I am potting on I add some blood, fish and bone, along with a small quantity of chicken manure pellets
