Penstemon Hartwegii - Scarlet Queen is a long-bloomer, that produces brilliant tubular flowers that are scarlet with white throats. It has a blooming season that lasts from June to September, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade and will grow up to 30 inches tall. It is recommended to deadhead spent blossoms to help promote continued blooming. For cooler climates, make sure these plants receive full sun, and in hotter climates, it is a good idea for the plant to have some partial shade. A great feature of this plant is that it will tolerate and possibly thrive in poor soils however, it is important that it has well-draining soil, otherwise it is susceptible to disease. These flowers will attract pollinators to your garden such as Hummingbirds, Butterflies, and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These do well in beds and borders in the garden.

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!!!!
