Firecracker Penstemon (Penstemon eatonii)
Wildflowers, Engineered to Succeed.
Firecracker Penstemon is a spectacular native wildflower with brilliant red flower spikes that attract hummingbirds and brighten western landscapes. Germination can be slow and inconsistent without proper treatment. Each seed is treated with GermiSync™ to help trigger germination and formed into a visible seed pellet for easier planting and more reliable results.
Covers 30 sq. ft.
Desert West and Mountain West states with dry, sunny climates (AZ, UT, NV, NM, CO)
RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then loosen the top inch of soil. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets evenly across your area (~1 inch apart). Each pellet contains one seed, so spacing stays consistent and planting stays controlled.
PAT
Rake or pat seeds snug into the soil. This keeps them in place and ensures strong seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Water once or twice daily. The soil should look dark, like a damp sponge for the first 2-3 weeks to to kickstart germination.
