Growing tips :

Foxgloves are simple and easy-care plants. Planted in full sun, they require regular watering. Otherwise, they prefer partially shaded locations. They require a cold stimulus to grow. Foxgloves sown in early spring bloom in the summer, while plants sown in the fall bloom the following year.

All parts of the foxglove are poisonous!

Cut flower:
Like all other flowers, foxglove makes a wonderful cut flower. It should be harvested before insects pollinate it, as this ensures its longest lifespan. The best time to harvest is as soon as the first flowers open. The water should be changed regularly.
