Enhance your garden with the striking elegance of West Coast Seeds - Purple Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea). These biennial plants feature tubular, nodding flowers often speckled and cascading down husky spires that can reach up to 2m (6') tall. Ideal for borders, woodlands, and naturalizing, Foxgloves bloom from late spring to summer and may flower again in late summer or fall. Thrive in moist, shady areas but can tolerate full sun with adequate watering.
Key Features:
- Biennial Blooms: Tubular, nodding flowers from late spring to summer, with potential for late-season reblooming.
- Impressive Height: Husky spires grow up to 2m (6') tall.
- Versatile Planting: Suitable for borders, woodlands, and naturalizing.
- Shade Loving: Thrives in moist, shady areas but can also stand full sun if watered regularly.
- Self-Sowing: Produces thousands of tiny seeds; cut stalks post-flowering to prevent self-sowing.
Important Note:
- Toxicity: All parts of the Foxglove plant are poisonous.
Growing Information:
- Season & Zone: Hardy to Zone 4 with exposure from full sun to shade.
- Timing: Direct sow outdoors after the last frost for flowers the following year. In mild winter areas, direct sow in autumn. For first-year flowers, sow indoors in December or January and transplant 2-3 weeks before the last frost. Seeds germinate in 14-21 days.
Planting Instructions:
- Starting: Sow seeds on the surface. Space or transplant plants 45-60cm (18-24") apart. If starting indoors, provide bright light and maintain a soil temperature of 15-18°C (60-65°F).
- Growing: Water deeply and regularly. Cut off finished flowering stems to prevent self-sowing, or let them naturalize for several generations. Provide extra moisture during periods of heat and drought to prevent wilting.
Add the enchanting beauty of West Coast Seeds - Purple Foxgloves to your garden for towering, tubular blooms that attract attention and enhance your landscape year after year.
