Hello
I live near Edinburgh Scotland and I have grown Foxgloves (Digitalis) for several years. Foxgloves are easy to grow and self seed readily. I have had good results from seed sown about now into small (4cm) cells filled with seed compost/soil. I would sow not more than 3-5 seeds per cell and grow on until the roots fill the cell, the plants can then br transferred to their flowering situation in early autumn, seed may also be sown directly into the ground. With cell grown plants you can minimise root disturbance. Ideally, foxgloves which are really woodland plants, will appreciate soil which is rich in humus and a situation in dappled sunlight or semi-shade. If you allow some of the plants to set seed after flowering you should have plenty seed for future years. There are some excellent seed mixture available with a good range of colours.
Good Luck

Hi,
I have inherited some foxgloves at the end of my garden which backs onto the canal, they look lovely but are in the middle of the area where I wish to put a jetty. I don't just want to rip them out & wondered if I can move them or maybe take seeds from them & if so when would the best time be? I have never grown foxgloves before so any help would be appreciated,
thanks
Loll

My foxgloves will reseed quite well where they are but I plan to start some in a flat and then to plastic pots. This will enable me to make a controlled planting just where I want them to be. Now is the time to sow those seeds.
