Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14-30 days at 65-70°F (18-21°C). Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant them outdoors after the danger of frost has passed, spacing them 12-18 inches apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a deep root system. Thereafter, water only during prolonged dry spells. Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming and maintain a tidy appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Pale Beardtongue (Penstemon pallidus) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67835976122678,"sku":"FOLIA2-1425","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7850665221_a186.jpg?v=1793096711","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-pale-beardtongue-seeds-penstemon-pallidus-native-white-wildflower-perennial","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
