Penstemon Digitalis - Husker Red is a white flowered penstemon on unusual  foliage as in Spring the leaves grow a wine red color and as they mature they begin to turn a dark green by Summer.. Genus name comes from the Greek words penta meaning five and stemon meaning stamen since each flower has five stamens. This Missouri native does well in moist Winters and humid Summers, unlike many penstemon. It was created at the University of Nebraska and named after the school colors. Highly attractive to all pollinators this will bring you Hummingbirds, butterflies and bees to visit. Also, it is not attractive to deer and rabbit. This variety is quite drought tolerant as well. In Springtime this plant shows off with the lovely foliage in red and will fit right in for color in Spring and flowers in Summer.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike!  There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
