Foxglove Flower Seeds 30pcs Organic Easy to Grow Digitalis Purpurea Foxgloves Seeds for Home Garden Outdoor Yard Farm Planting

When foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) flower in early to midsummer, spikes of bell-shaped flowers make a bold statement in the garden. When planted from seed, these biennials produce roots and leaves the first year but no flowers. The best time to plant foxglove seeds is late summer right after the seedpods mature, but if you miss the summer planting you can plant the seeds in fall or spring Before planting foxglove seeds, get the garden ready by turning over the soil and adding compost. Foxglove seeds need light to germinate. The best way to plant foxglove seeds is by surface sowing them, which means simply scattering the seeds on top of the soil. Aim for a spacing of about 1 inch between seeds. You can thin them once they emerge to a spacing of 12 to 24 inches between plants to prevent overcrowding. After planting, give the area a good soaking to dampen the soil 1 to 2 inches deep. Foxglove seeds take 20 to 30 days to germinate. You can start foxglove seeds in pots or seed flats indoors or in a greenhouse in late fall, winter or early spring. When selecting pots and seed flats, look for ones that have drainage holes in the bottom and use seed starting compost or a soilless seed starting mix rather than garden soil. Surface sow the seeds by placing them on top of the soil about 1 inch apart. Foxglove seeds germinate in bright, indirect light at 60 to 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
