Press seeds lightly into the soil surface without covering deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, harden them off and transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish, then reduce watering as they become drought tolerant. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a tidy appearance, and leave some seed heads for self-sowing and winter interest. Hairy Beardtongue is generally low-maintenance and deer resistant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Penstemon hirsutus seeds (Hairy Beardtongue), heirloom, non-GMO, for home garden planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739763278134,"sku":"EDNA-331","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8053075678_cd0u.jpg?v=1792115368","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-penstemon-hirsutus-seeds-hairy-beardtongue-heirloom-non-gmo-native-wildflower-for-home-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
