Here's how you can plant Penstemon Strictus from seeds: 1. Choose the right time: Penstemon seeds can be sown either in the fall or early spring. If planting in the fall, do it at least 6-8 weeks before the first expected frost. If planting in the spring, wait until the danger of frost has passed. 2. Prepare the planting site: Select a sunny location in your garden with well-draining soil. Penstemon strictus prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. 3. Soil preparation: Make sure the soil is loose and well-draining. You can amend heavy or clay soils with compost to improve drainage. 4. Scarify the seeds (optional): Some gardeners scarify the Penstemon seeds by gently nicking the seed coat with a file or sandpaper. This can help improve germination rates by allowing moisture to penetrate the seed coat more easily. 5. Sow the seeds: Scatter the Penstemon strictus seeds on the prepared soil surface. Since these seeds are tiny, you don't need to bury them. Simply press them lightly into the soil or use a fine layer of vermiculite to cover them. 6. Watering: Water the seeded area gently with a misting nozzle to avoid disturbing the seeds. The soil should be kept consistently moist but not waterlogged. 7. Mulch (optional): Applying a thin layer of mulch, like straw or finely chopped leaves, can help retain moisture and protect the seeds. 8. Germination: Penstemon strictus seeds may take several weeks to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist during this period. 9. Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown large enough to handle, they can be transplanted into their permanent locations. Space them about 12-18 inches apart.
