I guess those would be good for a moth garden, huh?

Seems like that would be the perfect kind of bloom for hummingbirds. Too bad there's no nocturnal hummingbirds........or are there?

San Antonio, TX(Zone 8b)

hmm...I don't think so....although have you ever seen those large hummingbird moths at night? They're really pretty....and fly similar to hummingbirds... :) They love my anise hyssop as well as all of my other blooming plants.

Yes, I bet the moths visit them, I had never seen the actual plant either, but it is very interesting, I hope it will do well so I can pass it along.

Josephine, now that I've collected a good amount of brazos penstamon seeds, what is the best way to sow them? Just spread them out in the gardens? And when is the best time to do it? Just wondering..... :)

The best way is to scatter them in the fall, as you know they are very small so just pat them down and put a very light sprinkling of soil over them. I hope they do great for you.
