Start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost or direct sow in fall/spring, always scattering them on the surface of moist soil as they need light to germinate. Cover lightly with vermiculite, keeping them moist and cool (18-20°C) until seedlings appear in 2-3 weeks, then transplant after hardening off.
Harvesting
Foxgloves should be harvested for cut-flowers when the lower third of the flowers on a stem are open. For the longest vase life, harvest before they are pollinated. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering.
