Zones 5-9 This easy-to-grow perennial makes a unique, vibrant statement in the garden and is lovely when cut for bouquets. Also known as Firecracker Penstemon, this perennial blazes with intense crimson color. This western native thrives in desert areas, so it is very resistant to heat and drought, making it an ideal choice for xeriscaping. Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate. For spring planting, mix the Eaton's Penstemon seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30-60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. This seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in the spring.

## Features

- Follow directions and plant when instructions say to plant them then they will grow for you. If you do not follow instructions then do not complain when nothing grows. Learn to follow instructions.
- Cycle: Perennial, Light Requirements: Full Sun, Plant Height: 16-18″, Plant Spacing: 12-15, Color: Red
- Bloom Season - Late Spring, Blooms Early Summer, Other: Attracts bees, birds, & butterflies
- If you do not follow the growing instructions in full and they do not grow for you then do not complain. These seeds are ALWAYS fresh seed. You MUST follow instructions below especially if trying to grow anytime other than the Fall. Seeds need cold weather to wake from dormancy so follow directions or do not complain.
- Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, pressing into the surface of the soil since this seed needs light to germinate and cold weather then in spring they will grow. For spring planting, mix the Eaton's Penstemon seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30-60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. This seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in the spring.
- Growing: Water seedlings until they become established. This plant develops rather slowly, and usually begins blooming in its second year. Mature plants tolerate drought well, though they also appreciate occasional watering in especially dry weather; excessive heat and dryness can cause wilting.
- This plant grows well in rocky soil, and has excellent resistance to disease and pests. After blooming cut the plant back to several inches above the soil, unless seed is wanted.
- Do not overwater, since this plant is particularly susceptible to root rot if the soil becomes too moist. If seeds are not required, cut the plant back after blooming has finished. This plant often self-sows, and is highly attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies.
- All multiple orders of the same seed are put in the same bag. For example if you order 500 beefsteak tomato seeds x 3 then 1500 seeds will be put in the same bag. We do not send out 3 individual bags with 500 in each. This goes for all seeds unless they are listings of different seeds

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful colors
*by A***N on June 6, 2024*

I love them the humming bird love them i love how easy they are to grow. i love the bright colors

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More for the birds
*by D***R on October 2, 2024*

Had such a dry summer, the little hummers need more to eat. Hopefully next spring they will like these flowers

### ⭐ Did Not Germinate. Horrendous Customer Service
*by K***Y on March 2, 2025*

I think the first bullet point under product features says it all. This company offers terrible customer service. If you send them a message about the seeds, expect an insulting or condescending reply. My seeds did not germinate - none of them - after following the instructions. I planted them in the fall, I refrigerated them, etc. Nothing. Plus, the seeds arrived with lots of foreign matter (small leaves, etc.) in the package. Very unlike the salvia seeds I purchased here from Zellajakefarmandgarden. I cannot emphasize enough how dissatisfied I am with these seeds and the seller. One star is far too grnerous
