{"title":"Foxglove (Digitalis) Seeds (Heirloom)","description":"\u003cp\u003eHeirloom foxglove is a beautiful flower with clusters of tubular blooms that come in a variety of hues including red, white, yellow, pink, and purple, and bring a distinct appeal to any environment. The extremely ancient term \"foxglove\" is explained as follows in a 19th century botany book: \"The folks of our ancestors were the fairies and nothing is more likely than that the pretty colored bells of the plant would be designated 'folksgloves,' afterwards, 'foxglove'.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting the best heirloom foxglove at home\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeirloom foxglove, also known as \u003cem\u003eDigitalis purpurea\u003c\/em\u003e in botanical terms, is a striking flower that originated in Europe. However, foxglove has expanded significantly in North America over time. Plant this lovely tall antique bloom in a part-shade location where moisture retention is abundant. The plant will require more afternoon shade as the summer progresses. Children and dogs should be kept away from heirloom foxglove since all parts of the plant can be harmful if ingested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeirloom foxglove is resistant to deer, rabbits, and pollution in urbanization!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to sow heirloom foxglove seeds\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the fear of frost has passed, sow your heirloom foxglove seeds directly into the garden. Or start your seedlings inside 8 to 10 weeks before the last frost date. These flowers thrive in full light, but will tolerate a little shade if required. In hotter climates, some shade is preferable. Because heirloom foxglove plants are vulnerable to strong winds, choose your planting location carefully. Foxglove loves soil that is rich, loamy, and drains well. You may also add compost to the soil to improve its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet the surface and place your heirloom foxglove seeds on the top of the soil, gently pressing them down. Because these seeds need sunshine to sprout, don't cover them with dirt. Thin your seedlings to every 12 to 18 inches after they have two or more leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to care for your heirloom foxglove\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulch around the base of the heirloom foxglove plants once they've been established to help them retain moisture. This mulch can also help to keep the roots warm during the winter. Because these plants may grow up to 60 inches tall, they may need to be staked. If you want your heirloom foxglove plants to come back year after year, don't deadhead the blooms as they start to fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant these companion plants with heirloom foxglove\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"delphinium_seed\"\u003eDelphiniums\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"daisy_seeds\"\u003edaisies\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"peony-roots\"\u003epeonies\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"snapdragon-seeds\"\u003esnapdragons\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"iris_bulbs_and_perennials\"\u003eirises\u003c\/a\u003e are all good companion plants for heirloom foxglove blossoms.
