- Seed from NARGS '20/'21 exchange, wild-collected in Arizona. Baggy 35F (59%G, 3-5w)
- Same seed as above. Baggy 35F (13%G, 5w) - 70L (27%G, 2-5d)
Seed is reported to germinate at room temperature when fresh, but to require a cold stage after dry storage. I found it germinated generously in a baggy after about a month of cold, and quickly developed seed leaves after moving to room temperature. As with most penstemons, a little finnicky once germinated.
