About This Variety
Meet This Variety
When preparing a site before the first seeds are sown, Start a Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) planting in cottage gardens from seed. The biennial garden plant needs partial shade and well-drained soil rich in organic matter through early growth.
For the first stage of planting, Sow in prepared growing medium when it reaches the recommended germination range. Keep the soil evenly moist while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy, with a seasonal routine focused on steady garden habits after sowing.
