Foxglove Plant Growing Conditions. Jun 12 2020 Foxgloves enjoy warm growing conditions but they prefer the colder climates of the northern to mid-western states. Ideally they should be placed at the back of the garden row.
As our native foxglove Digitalis purpurea is biennial you might not get flowers the same year you plant the plants. Gardeners may find that the foxgloves start to wilt in temperatures that exceed 100F. The soil that you plant the foxglove in needs to be slightly acidic to create the proper growing conditions.
Water the plant deeply about twice each week checking the soil first if the soil is dry at a depth of two inches water.
This way they wont interrupt the amount of sunlight other smaller plants receive. Aug 04 2020 Foxgloves prefer a nitrogen-rich moist but well drained soil. Unfortunately weeds also like acidic soil so dont overdo it and be on the lookout for them. Whats more if you want your foxgloves to self-seed around the garden and flower every year you will need to plant foxgloves.
