Description
Excelsior features graceful, nodding blossoms on stately spires. Bell-shaped flowers bloom in colors of cream, white, yellow, and rose, all with speckled throats. A good choice for naturalized settings along with tall perennials.
Sow in a location with full sun to filtered shade about two weeks before last spring frost date, or late fall in mild climates. May be started indoors six to eight weeks before last frost. Seeds require some light to germinate. Keep young plants evenly moist and well weeded. Foxglove will bloom in its second season. Replant midsummer for flowers each spring. Cut spent flowers regularly to extend season.
