    Hi Getthepicture,

    It's often difficult to tell from a picture at such a distance, but I suspect your plant is Penstemon 'Husker Red'. The stems are red, not the flower.

    When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

    Thanks for the reply- I'm convinced it's the husker red after seeing several photos of the variety.
