Penstemon azureus | Azure Penstemon | 10 Seeds

Description: Penstemon azureus, commonly known as azure penstemon or azure beardtongue, is a perennial herbaceous plant native to the western United States, particularly California and Oregon. It thrives in rocky slopes, dry woodlands, and chaparral environments. This plant typically grows 1 to 3 feet tall, with slender, upright stems and narrow, lance-shaped leaves. It is best known for its striking, tubular flowers, which are bright blue to violet in color, often attracting hummingbirds and bees. Blooming from late spring to early summer, Penstemon azureus prefers full sun and well-drained soils, making it a popular choice for xeriscaping and native plant gardens. The plant is drought-tolerant once established but benefits from occasional watering in particularly dry conditions. Zones 5-9 Germination Germinating Penstemon azureus seeds requires a period of cold stratification to break dormancy. Typically, seeds should be placed in a moist medium (such as sand or peat) and stored in a refrigerator at around 34–40°F (1–4°C) for 4 to 6 weeks. After stratification, the seeds can be sown on the surface of a well-draining seed-starting mix, as they require light to germinate. Keep the medium moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of around 65–70°F (18–21°C) for optimal germination. Germination can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks. Once seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves, they can be transplanted to individual pots and eventually hardened off before being planted outdoors.
