Mr Fothergills Foxglove Foxy Mixed 1000 Seeds

Foxglove - Foxed Mixed

This variety flowers in the first year from an early sowing. The plants are more compact and ideal for smaller gardens. This hardy biennial likes shade, and reaches the height of 90cm.
CAUTION: Toxic if eaten.

Sow outdoors from April to July, in a seed bed, 0.5cm deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 21-35 days. Thin seedlings to 5cm apart, when large enough to handle. Keep moist and weed free. Plant out to flowering position in autumn, allowing 25cm between plants. Or sow indoors, April-July, 0.5cm deep, in a tray of compost. Water well and place in a cold frame, unheated greenhouse, or a warm kitchen windowsill. Keep moist. Transplant individually, when large enough to handle, to 7.5cm pots. Always hold seedlings by a leaf, never by the stem. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions, before planting out into well-drained soil, from September to October, 25cm apart. Flowers from May to July, the following year.
