I grow the Penstemon tenuis, Gulf coast or Brazos penstemon, it is lovely and it self seeds quite well.
The seeds do have a funny smell reminiscent of cat pee, but not very strong, I love the plants so much the smell doesn't bother me, also the seed pods are very hard, and i usually crush them with a hammer between newspaper sheets.
Here is my favorite picture of them.
