Penstemon Species Mixed

Description

A wide selection from this increasingly popular group of plants, including both rockery and border varieties, e.g. Penstemon spp. cardinalis, fruticosus, procerus, serrulatus, montanus, ovatus, venustus, virens and many more. Flowering all summer long, once established, these lovely plants will thrive in low fertil­ity soil with little summer water and are a superb choice for dry gardens. The spikes of hooded, tubular flowers come in all colours, and whether for borders, rockeries, bedding or patio containers, they are real winners.

Sowing Advice

Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
