Foxgloves grow best in rich soils that are moist, but well-drained and can be grown in sun or partial shade. During the first year water at least once a week during dry periods, decreasing to every other week once established. Removing faded flower spikes during the season may encourage reblooming, once the plant has completely finished flowering cut the flower spikes back to just above the leaves. Feed in spring with a balanced, slow release fertiliser. Although Foxgloves are short-lived they self-seed creating new plants each year.
