About this video:
Here is my guide on how to grow foxgloves. What has worked for me and which methods I've used to grow foxgloves. These gorgeous flowers make such a statement in the garden. Whether you have a cottage garden, or a formal garden, these flowers deserve a spot to shine. Foxgloves are hardy in zones 4-9.
In its first year, the plant simply forms a rosette and foliage; in the second year, the plant grows a 3 to 5 feet spike covered in 20 to 80 small downward-facing, tubular flowers in purple, pink, or white.
Each flower tube has a small lip on which bumblebees can land to access the nectar at the base of the tube. Hummingbirds may also visit the flowers.

You are such a knowledgeable gardener ❤ I think I can grow Foxglove based on your instructions. Thank you, Steph!

[@aalejardin]

I share your love of foxgloves -- they are flowers worthy of a fairy book. Your combination with roses is gorgeous. I had good luck with my winter sowing of them last year so hoping that those will flower this year. I am also hoping that those that were in flower last year will have re-seeded themselves. I removed the main spikes when they started to fade and got a decent amount of side shoots although, of course, they aren't as tall as the initial spikes. Yes, growing from seeds is miraculous and so rewarding!

Love foxgloves I didn’t realize they were easy to grow and you could winter sow. Very informative - thanks

[@josealeman332]

Last year I bought a compost bag, where I put this compost I got a lot of wild flowers and one of them was a beautiful cream /peach floxglove with brown spots, it grew up about 5.5 feet and flower, I collect a lot of seeds but I drop a lot more :) most of these seeds are plants this year, the "mother " plant never die , still there and growing back, not sure what I HAVE BUT I AM VERY HAPPY , cant wait to see what colors I get this year or if they stay the same will be nice too.

[@glgardener4972]

What a fabulous and colorful garden you have. Your neighbors must enjoy your flowers. I love fox gloves and have always just cut the seed stem and placed it in the garden. However I can see that I could get far more results with your method and I will be doing that. Would you be kind enough to give your seed sources for the peachy apricot foxgloves? I would love to try that color. This was an excellent tutorial on foxgloves. Thank you

[@wendycampbell4153]

Hi Steph, I am trying to grow for the first time foxgloves .I purchased a reduced White Foxglove, which I left in its pot ,which self seeded .I gathered the plants that had germinated around it & have processed them into a larger pot & now I'm getting ready to put them into the ground location you've suggested .Will let you know what results ,colour etc that I obtain.

Another great and comprehensive video, I'm just disappointed that I didn't start my foxglove when you demonstrated how to start them last summer...surely I must have got distracted. Please remind us all again when to start them outside late this summer and I promise you that I will immediately run out and get them going!!! And yes, I'm trying to start them in my basement but with much less luck than I would have had if I had started them outdoors! Keep up the great work!

So enjoyed this Stef. I can start them in late summer/early fall with no heat mat or grow lights… ?awesome!!! I’m going to do that this year. I am in love with the apricot variety you grow.😍 Lots of great tips.

[@HookedandRooted]

Thank you! Yes, that's right no grow lights needed. I started those from the seeds I collected in summer as an experiment. However, you could start them earlier outside say by end of April beginning of May, and then plant them out by end of summer beginning of fall so they can establish in the ground before your first frost. Hope this helps! 🌱

Hi…loved your garden tours - and I loved this video on foxgloves. Love them. I bought some online - they are just small plants right now. I’d love to try some of your methods (love the winter sowing idea). Question - I don’t have any pets but my daughter has a golden retriever who is a little nosy in the garden sometimes. They only come here once a week mostly. Where do you think would be a safer place for foxgloves? Could I put them in containers? This way I’d be able to make sure the dog wouldn’t get into them! Let me know. Thx

[@cyndidaves5313]

Hi, thank you for the Foxglove sowing video. My Q is: when do I direct sow the seeds outdoors if I live in zone 6a? thank you again for the very informative video.

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Cyndi! your welcome. You can sprinkle them on the soil now. They will begin germinating and growing. When you sprinkle the seeds, be sure they make contact with soil. If you sprinkle them over mulch and they don't make contact with soil, they might not germinate. They also need light to germinate so simply sprinkling them over the soil is fine, no need to cover over with soil. Hope this helps.

[@cyndidaves5313]

@@HookedandRooted Thank you for your quick response. I have a full flower garden right now and this is where I want to add the Foxglove. Can I just sprinkle the foxglove seeds among my current full and blooming flower garden? Thanks again.

Hi Steph! Super informative info, thank you! I am indoor seeding for the first time this year. I broke my leg so missed out on winter sowing unfortunately. I noticed some of mine sprouted quickly but have become leggy and I assume weak…not sure what to do about that or if I can reverse it since it’s early on. Any advice? Also, I started Dalmatian Foxgoves, too, which I’m very excited about and don’t want to mess up. I had them under a dome and lifted the dome a few days ago because I saw sprouts. I then took the dome off but they are under grow lights. I can’t remember if they’re on top of a heat mat too. My question is, 1) am I properly handling them so far, and 2) how many hours should ny lights be on seedlings each day? Constant? Thanks Steph!

[@robynmoxham4255]

My mom and I just did our first winter sowing this year. I’m so excited about it! We are already seeing seedlings 🌱 . If we winter sow foxgloves now, they won’t come up this year, right? They will come up next year?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi Diane! Foxgloves are hardy in zones 4-9. While I've read they don't like humidity, we can get pretty humid here and they do well. Perhaps growing them somewhere with morning sun, and afternoon shade would help? Wow already 80 degrees! That's hot.

[@nanasloves]

Do they come back true to the parent or do they deteriorate each year because they are hybrid? Thanks!

[@HookedandRooted]

They don't come back for me, but they self seed a bunch! So there is always more seedings coming up in the following years.

[@cas4646]

Do you have to plant them right away or can you save them for other years?

[@HookedandRooted]

Hi there, the seeds are usually viable for up to 2 years. The fresher the seed, the easier they germinate. In general foxgloves germinate really easily and you can just let them dry out on the plant and drop their seed, and you will have tons of seedlings.
