Description

FOXGLOVE PENSTEMON. The best of two worlds. A perennial with the beauty of a foxglove and the durability and life span of a penstemon. Easy to grow from seed. Does well in the garden or large containers. Grows to 36-48" tall and about 18" wide. Blooms May, June, July. Blooms are white to a very light pink and make great cut flowers. The flowers also attracts hummingbirds and bees with long tongues, such as honeybees, bumblebees, mason bees and miner bees. This plant is native to woodland clearings and is very adaptable to different light conditions. Full sun to all shade. Does best with medium to light water. Not real picky about soil. Cut plant down to 6-8" in august after blooms are finished. 300+ seeds per order. Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them. They do this so the seed won’t sprout in fall, only to have the seedling not make it through a cold winter. I have stratified these seeds to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably. Thanks for looking!! Penstemon digitalis. Full sun to shade.
