Penstemon digitalis 'Husker Red'

Sowing method: Year-round in a seed tray. First, provide warmth (18-22°C) for 2-4 weeks, then a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4°C) for 4-6 weeks. Subsequently, gradually warm it up to room temperature, after which germination will follow. The seeds germinate irregularly over a prolonged period, so do not discard the seedlings too soon. Sowing directly into the ground is also possible; just let it experience winter, and germination will occur in spring.
