Description

Start Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) from seed for planting in cottage gardens. This biennial garden plant prefers partial shade and well-drained soil rich in organic matter as it establishes.

Use the recommended germination range to guide seed starting, and sow at the recommended depth for the crop. Keep the soil evenly moist while seedlings establish, then remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
