How to Grow
Foxglove 'Dalmatian Purple' seeds can be started indoors or sown directly outside from April to July, preferring partial shade and moist, well-drained soil for optimal growth. This biennial plant thrives in containers, garden beds, balconies, or terraces, making it versatile for various garden settings.
Sowing
Sow the seeds about 3mm deep in a small tray filled with compost during the sowing months of April to July, then cover with a clear container and keep in a warm place such as a windowsill to encourage germination.
Growing
Once seedlings appear, thin them out or pot on to avoid overcrowding, ensuring they have enough space to grow to their mature size, which suits a 40 cm pot or similar growing area. Harden off plants before moving them outdoors to withstand cooler temperatures during their growing months from May to October.
Plant care
Maintain consistently moist soil without waterlogging, especially during dry spells, to support healthy growth. Deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage prolonged blooming and remove any weak stems to keep the plants tidy and vigorous throughout the growing season.
