Foxglove Beard Tongue Flower Seeds Packet

Penstemon seeds grow into a tubular-flowered perennial that draws hummingbirds the way its foxglove namesake draws bees, without being either plant. Shido penstemon seeds are non-GMO and hermetically vacuum-sealed — a hardier route to a hummingbird flower than the true foxglove allows — while standard paper-packed seeds lose germination viability within approximately one year. Hummingbirds treat the tubular blooms the way bees treat true foxglove, without either species particularly caring that this is a different plant altogether. It tolerates heat and dry soil that the true foxglove could never handle, which makes it the more forgiving choice for a difficult, sun-baked bed. It borrows the visual trick without any of the true foxglove's fussier demands on the gardener. Genuine drought and thin, rocky ground would send the true foxglove into decline within a week, but this one. Every packet ships germination-tested at independent third-party labs before packaging.
