I've a few different varieties of Foxgloves (Digitalis) in flower now in the North West Regional College Horticultural training area in Springtown, all were sown from seed last summer.
These foxgloves were an Excelsior mix from SeedParade. You can also get ready-to-go Digitalis Excelsior plants from Gardening Express
We sowed them last summer and planted them out the tail end of last summer into this raised bed.

Foxgloves are traditional woodland flowers - growing well in dappled sunshine in the forest floor, so they're a useful plant to fill gaps in light shade. Now bare in mind all parts are poisonous.
These foxgloves in the North West Regional College are alive with insects at this time of year....humming with bees amongst others..
The seeds of Foxgloves are tiny...making them fiddly to grow, you just thinly scatter or fine compost and then lightly cover with vermiculite or sieved compost
Go on....give them a go!!
