This lovely penstemon deserves a place in every garden! If you have a spot that rarely gets watered, but still want a beautiful, flowering perennial, Dazzler Blend will delight! Very drought tolerant once established, but also does well with average moisture. Excellent rock garden plant and a nice addition to well-drained containers. Include in the front of your wildflower areas. Attracts hummingbirds and is valuable to native bees.

Not so good

I followed the directions on the see packet and not one of them came up. That happened with all of the seeds I purchased.

Fantastic germination rates from botanical interests! Quick to ship as well. Mine were all punk and purple quick to flower! Mid summer they died back i cut them to the ground and this fall they are blooming again!

Penstemon hirsutis?

2 out of 5 stars Sep 30, 2021
My plants had small whitish flowers- looks more like the native plant when I looked it up (penstemon hirsutis). Have never had the natives in my garden either so I guess an extra star for at least germinating.

Owner Response: Hi Cinzia, These Penstemon barbatus should be pink or purple. A customer service agent will be contacting you by email to help.

Penstemon is BEAUTIFUL!

I sowed these in a winter sowing project. I'd never seen penstemon, and I'd never done winter sowing before. The penstemon germinated and grew into perfect starter plants that I scattered around the garden, to see where it would do best. It did well EVERYWHERE! It has been in constant bloom, and mine were predominantly a lovely hot pink, with large flowers. It is STILL in bloom, as I type, 11/26/21! Try it!!!!
