Common Questions
How can I use foxglove in the landscape?
Use tall foxgloves in the landscape for the back row of mixed borders, to attract hummingbirds, and plant white foxglove flowers to brighten a moon garden.
Does foxglove spread aggressively?
Foxgloves freely self-seed, creating a sustained patch that produces flowers annually. However, foxglove is not considered an aggressive spreader.
How do I tell the difference between biennial and perennial foxgloves?
The common perennial type is the yellow foxglove (D. grandiflora), which has solid yellow flowers without the multiple colors found in biennials. If your foxglove has speckled colors in its throat, it is almost certainly a biennial that can be removed once the flowers are gone.
Will deer eat my foxglove plants?
No, deer tend to stay away from foxglove plants.
Do I need to prune back my flowers after blooms fade?
Cut back main flower spike as the blooms fade to encourage growth of flowering side shoots.
Is foxglove toxic?
Yes, foxglove is highly toxic if ingested. Wear gloves and wash your hands after handling. Toxic for dogs, cats, horses and humans.
