Slow to grow in my clay soil. The first year plants were small and struggling with no blooms. This year, I'm delighted to see plants a foot high with 'dazzling' blooms. Well worth the wait.

I grew these last year (I used the winter sowing method with the milk jugs) and had both purple and pink bloom that summer. This year one of the purples is huge! It's so beautiful.

Good germination, but only 40% survived
Which best describes you as a gardener? IntermediateEGEpic GardeningSep 29, 2025Hey Douglas,
Thanks so much for sharing your experience with the Dazzler Blend Penstemon seeds! We're really glad to hear that you had good germination - that's always such an encouraging start when you see those little seedlings popping up! We totally understand that it can be disappointing when not all of the seedlings make it through to maturity, and a 40% survival rate definitely sounds frustrating. Penstemons can sometimes be a bit tricky when they're young, especially if growing conditions change or they're transitioning from indoor to outdoor environments. It's great that you still ended up with some plants that made it through though - those survivors are likely to be really strong and should give you some beautiful blooms! We appreciate you taking the time to share your honest feedback with us. Keep on growing 🌻️

Penstemon dazzler germinates well from seeds if chilled first before planting. Lots game up and I got a variety of colors, pink and purples. Most are over wintering well here in N.C.
I added more seeds this year and am awaiting germination. Easy plant for your pollinator and humming bird garden.

The picture on this seed packet drew me in immediately! Any flower that will attract hummingbirds is high on my list to grow. Am really looking forward to the first blooms.
