Description

Beautiful, bell-shaped flowers bloom along tall, graceful spires—beloved by pollinators and especially enchanting to bumblebees, who can often be found buzzing deep into each bloom. This pale-toned selection brings a soft, romantic glow to the garden, with flowers in shades of antique cream, blush pink, and silvery lavender. Delicate and elegant, they sway gently in the breeze, adding both height and a touch of fairytale charm to any space. First year flowering.

Please note: All parts of this flowering plant are poisonous, including the seeds. Please use care while growing and harvesting. Use caution around children and pets. By purchasing these seeds, the buyer assumes all risks and liabilities related to their use.

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.
