Foxglove Warm Rose F1
Digitalis purpurea
20 Seeds
A wonderfully versatile, multi-headed foxglove, with branched plants producing many colourful and dramatic flower spikes. Compact and early flowering, this high quality hybrid variety is ideal for patio containers and will grow happily in a partially shaded position. A hardy perennial, it will flower in the first year from an early sowing.
Note: Pelleted seed; coated in a harmless, natural material to aid sowing.
Sow indoors to flower the same year, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, in a tray of compost. A temperature of 15-20°C (60-68°F) is ideal. Keep moist. Seedlings usually appear in 14-21 days. Transplant seedlings 5cm (2”) apart to other trays when large enough to handle. Gradually accustom young plants to outside conditions before planting out 25cm (10”) apart, when frosts are over. Or sow outdoors to flower the following year, in a seed bed, 0.5cm (¼”) deep, into finely prepared soil which has already been watered. Thin seedlings to 5cm (2”) apart before planting out to flowering positions in autumn. Plants are generally quite short lived. Allow their seeds to shed for further plants in subsequent years.
Genus: Annuals/Bedding
