Shop nowFoxgloves (Digitalis) are the architectural stars of the cottage and woodland garden — tall spires of freckled, thimble-shaped flowers that bumblebees disappear right inside. They sit among our biennial flowers within the flower seed range. New to flowers? Our flower growing guide covers the basics.
Foxgloves are sown to flower the following year — the calendar shows when.
One of the few showy flowers that thrives in part shade, foxglove is invaluable for brightening a shady border or woodland edge, and is one of our most valuable bee-friendly and pollinator plants. Note that all parts are toxic if eaten, so site it away from where children graze.
Sow on the surface in late spring or summer, as the fine seed needs light, to make leafy plants that flower the next year. They like moist, humus-rich soil in sun or part shade, and self-seed freely once established.
