Description

For cottage gardens, Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) grows well in partial shade and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. It follows a biennial growth cycle with steady early care.

Begin with a prepared bed or container and sow at the appropriate depth for the crop. Keep the soil evenly moist as seedlings emerge, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
