The Hosta and Penstemon beds in Barnsdale Gardens, Rutland, UK. The Penstemons are planted in a raised bed to allow good drainage, something that the natural heavy clay soil of Barnsdale Gardens does not provide. As well as the Penstemons, a large variety of Hosta species / cultivars are planted in the larger bed of this garden.
