Foxglove Mix brings tall spires of spotted, bell-shaped flowers to cottage gardens and partly shaded borders. Its upright flower stalks add vertical interest above leafy rosettes, creating a layered display among lower-growing plants. This biennial foxglove typically forms foliage in its first season and flowers in its second, rewarding patient gardeners with a dramatic ornamental display.

Important Safety Warning: Foxglove is toxic if eaten. All parts of the plant, including seeds, leaves and flowers, are poisonous to people and animals. Do not grow where children or pets may eat plant material, and never use foxglove in food, drinks or home remedies.

Why Choose Foxglove Mix?

• Vertical Garden Interest: Tall flowering spikes add height and structure behind shorter border plants.
• Distinctive Bell-Shaped Blooms: Large tubular flowers with spotted throats create the classic foxglove look.
• Cottage Garden Character: A traditional ornamental flower for relaxed, layered garden plantings.
• Partial-Shade Planting: Useful for bright, partly shaded sites with moist, well-drained soil.
• Biennial Growth: Plants usually establish leafy rosettes before flowering the following season; this is not a dwarf, quick-flowering snapdragon.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Choose partial shade, especially where summers are hot. Morning sun with afternoon shade can help protect plants from intense heat.
• Soil: Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. Work compost into the planting area.
• Sowing: Surface sow the tiny seeds onto moist seed-starting mix and press gently into place. Do not bury them deeply; light helps germination. Mist gently so seeds stay in position.
• Timing: Start in spring or summer to establish plants for a later flowering season. In mild-winter areas, local fall-sowing guidance may apply. Do not expect the copied snapdragon's 50-day flowering schedule.
• Transplanting and Spacing: Harden off seedlings before transplanting. Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart, allowing room for leafy rosettes and airflow.
• Watering: Keep the seed surface evenly moist during germination. Water established plants at soil level when needed, avoiding prolonged drought or saturated roots.
• Fertilizing: Use compost and, if needed, a balanced flower fertilizer according to its label. Avoid excessive feeding.
• Support: Shelter tall flower spikes from strong winds and stake gently if needed.
• Maintenance: Remove spent flower stalks before seed ripens if you want to limit self-sowing. Wear gloves when handling plants and wash hands afterward.
