Plant Info: Foxglove, a striking biennial plant, is native to Ireland and known for its tall spikes adorned with tubular, bell-shaped flowers. The blooms, typically pinkish-purple with speckled throats, attract bees and other pollinators. Though beautiful, all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
Sowing: Sow seeds in late spring to early summer. Sprinkle seeds on the surface of well-drained soil and lightly cover. Location: Prefers partial shade but tolerates full sun. Soil: Thrives in moist, fertile, and well-drained soil. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Growth: In the first year, it produces a rosette of leaves; flowers appear in the second year. Care:Deadhead spent flowers to prolong blooming, but leave some for self-seeding.
Foxgloves are ideal for cottage gardens and naturalized areas.
