Foxglove 'Dalmatian Pink'

Sowing and Growing

1. Sow indoors at 15-20C onto a tray of moist compost
2. Do not cover, as the seed needs light to germinate
3. Prick out seedlings and pot on into small pots before planting out after risk of frost has passed
4. Or sow direct in May and June
5. Water regularly, keeping the soil moist not too wet

Easy to grow in part shade or sun but avoid damp areas. Remove central shoot to encourage side shoots.
