Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 14-30 days at 65-70°F. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant them to their final spacing.\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. Mulch around plants to suppress weeds and retain moisture, 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\u003e100mg of Rydberg's Penstemon (Penstemon rydbergii) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67824743514422,"sku":"FOLIA2-1144","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6501930634_hpwy.jpg?v=1793004424","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/rydbergs-penstemon-seeds-100mg-native-perennial-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
