>> sorry about the name Corey..
No problem Allison, I answer to almost anything.
>> I've found penstemon to be some of the slowest-germinating seeds ever!!!
Some site advised that, if WS penstemon didn't sprout, to hold onto the tub and try again next winter
Penstemon eatonii "Firecracker" is SO pretty in the Botanical Intere4sts seed packet! Then I found out it was a semi-endangered wildflower, and I WANTED it. That was several years ago and several pkts of seed ago. I'll keep trying ...
My current puzzle is what to do with seven 3" pots, each with a dozen or more TINY P. seedlings. I suppose the only answer is to get a magnifying glass and carefully dis-entangle the roots.
Then pot them up to "something": a shot glass? Do they make 4-ounce Dixie cups? Maybe this is the time to break out that 50-cell (round) plug tray. At least it won't tip over. That would, however, be wierd: I WSed the seeds so i wouldn;'t haveto startify and harden off. Now i may to move them INside for the Winter!
I hope they get big and sturdy enough to plant out before fall gets cold and wet. I dread learning that slugs like Penstemon, too!
Corey, or Rick
