The huge lavender flowers of
Beardtongue put on a fabulous floral display in
the early summer. Often listed as rare species or
as endangered in the wild, this beautiful plant
needs a light, well-drained soil in full sun to
part shade and it is a favorite nectar source for
hummingbirds.

GERMINATION INFO
Cold, moist
stratification. Mix seed with moist but
not wet, sterile growing medium. Place
mixture in a labeled, sealed plastic bag
and store in refridgerator for six to
eight weeks. Note: Some seed may
germinate in the storage bag if moist
