*+Firebird — Novelty 1942 — This beauty came to us from 
Switzerland, where it is known as Pentstemon Shonoholzerii.

tall, and are fiery crimson overlaid with an orange sheen. The 
plant is easily grown, is free from insect pests, flowers freely, 
creates a brilliant effect in the flower garden, and is a cut 
flower par excellence. This plant is quite similar in growth to 
Pentstemon Garnet, flowering just as freely and is more hardy.
