When to Seed Foxglove
Foxglove should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed.
Where to Plant Foxglove
This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun to partial shade. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. This biennial bloom will flower in the second year and is likely to reseed, so keep this in mind when choosing a location! Plants reach two to six feet tall.
Growing Foxglove
Sow seeds 1/16 inch deep and two to four inches apart. When germinated, thin to its mature planting distance of six to ten inches apart.
Harvesting Foxglove
Foxglove can be harvested for cut flowers or left to mature in the garden to benefit the many pollinator species that are attracted to it.
