Sowing Penstemon Seeds:
Sow indoors, then refrigerate for the amount of time specified on the packet. Or sow outdoors in a cold frame in late fall or winter. Sow on the surface, or barely cover the seeds. Full sun. Well-drained soil. Penstemon seeds are more difficult to germinate than most perennials, so please sow thickly and be patient.
