How to grow
How To Grow Foxglove From Seed: Foxglove Foxy Digitalis is easy to grow from wildflower seed, and Foxy is the only variety that can be grown either as an annual or a biennial. Situate it in full sun (in Northern climates) or partial shade (in the South).
Grow Digitalis Purpurea in rich, moist soil to begin blooming at just 18 inches tall (about 5 months from sowing seeds). Space the plants 12 - 18 inches apart. If growing as a biennial, it is hardy in zones 4 - 8. Sow Foxglove seeds outdoors, directly into prepared soil in the spring after danger of frost has passed.

Flower Specifications
The Foxglove flowers are so freely formed that they crowd one another, overlapping for a very full, wonderfully colorful display. Because the buds open from the bottom of the plant up, the topmost are still closed when the lower flowers are in full bloom, increasing the color show of every stem!
