Description

There’s something honest and magnificent about a beautiful great armful and vase of our native wild foxgloves. I love growing them for parties, weddings and friends in May or June. And they are very easy!

Care Tips

Remove the first flower spike early to encourage more 'prince' flowers from the base. May require protection from severe frost. Caution: All parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested.
