Penstemon barbatus seed

LATIN NAME: PENSTEMON BARBATUS

COMMON NAME: Beardlip Penstemon, Beardtongue

The beardlip penstemon is a handsome, upright, branching, perennial herb of the warm, dry regions, and its fine, narrow, lance-shaped leaves and its many showy, tubular, scarlet or orange-red, two-lipped flowers have made it a treasured and spectacular plant of the garden. It grows as an upright, branching, perennial herb, reaching up to one metre or more, with upright, branching stems bearing opposite, narrow, lance-shaped, pointed leaves and, through the summer, many showy, tubular, scarlet or orange-red, two-lipped flowers in long, upright spikes, followed by small, dry, many-seeded capsules. It is a species of the flowering plant in the plantain family, native to the warm, dry regions of south-western North America, while it is grown as a treasured garden flower, and it is known as the beardlip penstemon.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The beardlip penstemon has a real and distinguished place in research. It has been studied in horticulture, since its many showy, tubular, scarlet or orange-red, two-lipped flowers have made it a treasured and spectacular plant of the garden, and researchers have examined its growth, its flowering and its cultivation, while its value as a garden flower has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the dry garden. The plant has also been studied in the ecology of insects, since the many showy, tubular flowers of the beardlip penstemon are a fine source of nectar for the hummingbirds and the long-tongued bees, and researchers have examined the flowers and their value, while the study of the hummingbird plants has been of continuing interest, and the penstemon is a fine friend of the hummingbirds of the garden. The species has also been studied in botany and ecology, since it is a native of the warm, dry regions of south-western North America, and its relationships, its distribution and its role in the dry places have been examined, while the Navajo people have a long history of traditional use of the plant, and the traditional uses have been of interest to the ethnobotanists, while the plant is best kept as a subject of study rather than a casual home remedy. For a plant of such spectacular beauty, the beardlip penstemon has a rich and continuing record of study.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

To grow the Beardlip Penstemon from seed, ecologically, the beardlip penstemon is a generous plant of the garden. Its many showy, tubular, scarlet or orange-red flowers feed the hummingbirds and the many bees, and its fine, upright, leafy growth gives a bright, fine presence to the dry garden and the sunny border. Its economic value is real: the beardlip penstemon is prized for its many showy, tubular, scarlet or orange-red flowers, and its beauty has drawn attention in the international horticultural press as a plant of the dry garden, while its fine, bright, tubular form has made it a treasured flower of the dry garden and the sunny border. To bring the beardlip penstemon on, sow the seeds on the surface of gritty, free-draining compost, firm them in lightly, keep them lightly watered, and grow the little plants on in a sunny spot.
