How to sow foxgloves outdoors?
To sow foxgloves outdoors, it's best to do so in spring, when temperatures start to warm up. Choose a sunny or semi-shady spot with well-drained soil. Before sowing, loosen the soil by removing weeds and adding organic compost to enrich the soil.
Create shallow holes about 1 to 2 centimetres deep and space the foxglove seeds about 30 centimetres apart. Cover the seeds lightly with soil and gently tamp down the soil to ensure good contact between the seeds and the soil.
It's important to keep the soil moist but not soggy until the seeds germinate, which can take a few weeks. Once the seedlings have grown to a few centimetres in height, thin them out, keeping only the strongest ones to encourage their development.

Be sure to protect foxgloves from slugs and snails, which can be fond of young plants. Once well established, foxgloves are hardy plants that require little maintenance, but add a lovely touch of height and colour to the garden.
