Author Message   Kvilledude  My Weather Posted on Sunday, August 15, 2004 - 06:31 pm:    I got seeds for penstemon hartwegii giganteous and firecracker penstemon eatonii off of eBay last year and started seeds via the winter sowing technique. I got quite a few seedlings to germinate but then when I transplanted them out, I lost track of what is what. Here are two pictures. Can you help me identify them Kath or have you ever heard of these varieties before?

The two penstemons are the reddish ones and the purple one that has not yet opened.
