Also known by the botanical name Digitalis , foxgloves produce tall flower spikes covered in tubular blooms ranging from soft cream and peach to lavender, pink, purple and white. Foxgloves are especially well suited to cottage gardens, woodland-style plantings, partially shaded borders and mixed perennial beds. Their upright growth makes them useful for adding height behind shorter flowers, while their distinctive blooms bring colour and structure to the garden from late spring into summer.

Growing foxgloves from seed makes it possible to establish larger groups of plants throughout borders and naturalized areas while choosing from a wider range of flower colours and varieties. Many foxgloves are biennial or short-lived perennial plants. They typically establish a leafy rosette during their first growing season before producing tall flowering stems during the following season. Once established, many varieties can also self-seed when mature flower stalks are left in place. This growth habit makes foxgloves particularly effective in informal gardens where plants are allowed to move naturally through beds over time.
