100 Pcs  Beardtongue Penstemon Seeds-Penstemon Digitalis-FL258-Extremely Attractive to Bees and Hummingbirds!

Penstemons are easy to start from seed, which is just as well, as many of the species are short-lived perennials. Seeds may germinate better after a period of aging, mimicking their conditions in the wild, so you can store seed for several years before planting. If you sow the seeds in the garden, do so in autumn, to allow a natural stratification period. Alternatively, you can stratify the seeds in the refrigerator for three months if you plan to start them indoors. 

This Beardtongue Penstemon Digitalis is native to Ontario, Canada and it is extremely attractive to Bees and Hummingbirds. It tolerates dry soils in full sun or partial shade. Seeds can also be sown outside in the fall and you can start indoors in February for early blooming
