FOXGLOVE Foxy Mixed (Wildlife Garden)

A hardy perennial, flowers first year from an early sowing. Beautiful dwarf foxgloves, ideal for small gardens. Useful for more exposed or windy locations.

To Sow & Grow:

Sow indoors, to flower the same year, 0.5cm (1/4) deep in a tray of compost. A temperature of 15-20c (60-68F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days.

Transplant seedlings 5cm (2) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 25cm (10) apart, when frosts are over .

Or sow outdoors to flower the following year, in a seed bed, 0.5cm (1/4) deep, into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2) apart before planting out to flowering position in autumn. Plants are generally quite short lived. Allow their seeds to shed for further plants in subsequent years.
