Position:sun or semi shade, dappled shadeWater foxglove plants regularly until fully established.
Care: In autumn, cut back faded foxglove flower stems to encourage plenty of new side shoots. Caution: All parts of digitalis plants are harmful if eaten and contact with the foliage may irritate the skin and eyes.
