Solved Another ID please. lesson learnt this time

This is about a foot high and was also sold as a perennial. I am now keeping ALL labels so I know what plants are in future (pinkie promise!)

 

It's a penstemon, @cindy. Hopefully someone else can identify just which one - not me, because I can never get them to grow here! Anyway, it's very pretty

 

Looks like Penstemon pensham Czar.

Thank you. The other Penstemon I have is low to the ground and sort of bowl shaped so that's what threw me as this one is upright. Oh sooooo many variations Ha Ha!
