This heirloom, non-GMO variety produces upright stems of soft white to pale lavender blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It is an excellent choice for meadow plantings, pollinator gardens, cottage borders, and naturalized areas where it adds airy texture and seasonal interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePale Beardtongue is a herbaceous perennial that typically blooms in late spring to early summer. Its tubular flowers rise above lance-shaped green foliage, creating a graceful vertical accent. Once established, it is drought tolerant and thrives in well-drained soils, making it a low-maintenance addition to sunny borders and wildflower patches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative wildflower with pale white to light lavender tubular blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeirloom, non-GMO seeds for home garden planting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for pollinator gardens, meadows, and naturalized landscapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penstemon pallidus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy or loamy soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to medium; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 to 8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Penstemon pallidus seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and uneven, often taking 14 to 30 days at temperatures around 65 to 70°F. Stratification may improve results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them outdoors after hardening off. Space plants 12 to 18 inches apart in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish. After establishment, Pale Beardtongue requires minimal care. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage reblooming and prevent self-seeding if desired. In colder zones, a light mulch in winter can protect crowns.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou will receive 100 Penstemon pallidus seeds (Pale Beardtongue), ready for planting in your home garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739763245366,"sku":"EDNA-330","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8100992373_h402.jpg?v=1792115365","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-penstemon-pallidus-seeds-pale-beardtongue-native-wildflower-for-home-garden","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
