A popular choice for cottage gardens, foxgloves dazzle with their downy, bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, white, and yellow.
To plant yours for colour next year, sow foxglove seeds thinly in seed trays or modules indoors or in a cold frame.
‘Once seedlings are strong enough, they can be planted outdoors in late August or September. Foxgloves are also excellent self-seeders, so once established, they often return year after year,’ says Julian.
‘Foxgloves thrive in well-drained soil and prefer partial shade, making them ideal for woodland edges and cottage gardens.’
