Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow in fall for natural stratification. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 14-30 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings have several true leaves, transplant outdoors after hardening off.

Choose a sunny to partly shaded location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, Penstemon digitalis is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming, or leave seed heads for birds. Divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
