"After saying that most Penstemon root easily, I must say that P. pinifolius 
is not one of them. I have resorted to cutting through adventurious stems in 
the spring and letting them alone until fall. Then I dig up the start and 
pot it up. If you have a stem of it that has already developed some root 
along it, you can put that in course sand WITHOUT any hormone and it should 
take off"

Jay, you're probably going to kill me but I've had the best success in 
rooting P. pinifolius, specifically cuttings from seedlings of your 
"Magdalena Sunshine".  At least I believe you introduced "Magdalena 
Sunshine".  Unfortunately I can't tell you what I did to root them other 
than I used pure pumice.  Can't remember the time of year or if I said any 
magical incantation over the cuttings.  I'm pretty sure I rooted them 
outside or in my greenhouse (depending on the time of year).
