Rocky Mountain Blue Penstemon Seeds

This RMP can survive with little to no water. It's easy to grow and is a perfect plant to attract hummingbirds.

Mine are in their third year and each time they bloom I cannot quit looking and photographing them. The colors are breathtaking and they are one of the hardiest plants in my garden. Greatly attractive to small native pollinators.

Loved the Rocky Mountain Penstemon. Couldn't belie it when it bloomed this year. I was expecting this for the following year.

I didn't stratify all of these seeds as suggested on the packed, I planted some of them directly in some pots under lights in December, and they sprouted pretty quickly and grew into small plants that I transplanted this spring. They aren't very big yet, but they are growing bushier and seem to like the garden spots I put them in at my community garden and in our backyard. I also gave a couple of the plants to my sister and father for their low-water gardens. Can't wait to see them bloom (I assume next year, but I'm hoping for this first year, a gardener's gotta dream, right?!) P.S. I did try to stratify some of the seeds, I put them into the refrigerator with a wet paper towel in a plastic container. It stayed damp, but after about a month and a half or so I checked them and it looked like they had sprouted inside the paper towel but had grown and perished (still damp, but probably didn't have air to breath or room to grow!) So, I'm not sure if my refrigerator was not the right temperature as they sprouted quickly, or if I should have been checking them weekly to see if they sprouted? Regardless, the seeds I direct sowed without stratifying germinated perfectly, so I probably will just continue to plant them direct. And, I have plenty of seeds left, thanks for the generous portion!

Planted along the south-facing brick wall of our house. Nothing came up. Perhaps too hot from brick?
