Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation required. However, you can soak the seeds in water for a few hours before planting to soften the seed coat and promote quicker germination.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds directly into the prepared garden bed or container in the spring after the last frost date in your area. Plant the seeds at a depth of about 1/8 inch (3 mm) and space them 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) apart.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination usually occurs within 14 to 21 days if the soil temperature is kept around 65 to 70°F (18 to 21°C).
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, you can transplant them into their permanent location in the garden or larger containers.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells, but avoid overwatering as Penstemon plants are susceptible to root rot. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming throughout the growing season. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch in the fall to protect the roots from freezing temperatures.

Happy gardening!
