Plant them towards the back of the bed if growing the taller varieties or if planting island beds plant them in the center.Foxgloves prefer to grow in rich moist but well-drained soil. They do not like it too damp or too dry.These plants prefer a cool and moist environment, so it’s best to plant them in an area that is sheltered from strong winds and intense sunlight. When planting foxgloves, it’s important to choose a location that receives partial to full sunlight. You can sow the seeds indoors in late winter, and then transplant them outdoors in spring, or sow them directly into the garden bed in the late spring or early summer. They prefer well-draining, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter. Planting Foxglovesįoxgloves are relatively easy to grow from seeds or young plants. These can grow to 5 feet or a wee bit taller if given the right conditions (aka great soil and water in dry weather). Heirloom foxgloves, digitalis plants, are biennial, meaning they sprout and grow one year then bloom the next, go to seed, spread their progeny around, and die off. One of my favorite flowers in a typical cottage garden is the Foxglove (Digitalis Purpurea).
