Not real picky about soil. 300+ seeds per order.Some American Native Wildflower seeds need to go through a cold winter to germinate. This plant is one of them.

I have stratified these seeds to simulate a cold winter(stratification) This raises the germination rate considerably. Thanks for looking!!Penstemon hirsutus Full sun to shade.
