Description
Stately stalks of bicolor bell-like blossoms brighten shady areas. Unlike other foxgloves, Foxy blossoms in its first year and maintains a compact height of 2-3′. Blooms in spring to early summer in successive years. It won an All America Selections award in 1967.
Select a location with filtered shade to full sun with moist, rich soil. Plant outdoors about two weeks before last frost date up to midsummer, or late fall in mild areas. Start indoors six to eight weeks before last frost date for transplants. Keep young plants evenly moist. Cut back flower spikes after they fade to encourage another set in the fall.
