How to plant foxgloves
Growing foxgloves from seed
When planting foxgloves use a good quality seed compost.
Lightly press the seeds into the compost, but DO NOT cover the seeds because foxgloves require light for germination.
Water with tap water after sowing and allow the pot to drain.
Once the seeds germinate, prick the foxglove seedlings out into small 9cm (3 in) pots.
Planting foxgloves outside
Plant in the ground in autumn, or wait until the following spring if they aren’t large enough. Allow plenty of space between plants as if they are overcrowded they will not grow as tall as they could otherwise be.
Where to plant foxgloves
Foxgloves prefer light shade and in the wild are usually seen in wooded areas. Their tall flowering height make them a good addition to a cottage garden border.
