Foxglove Seeds

Comments about American Meadows Foxglove Seeds:

These look awesome along the wood steps down to my backyard. It gets partial sun, but filtered. I bought the Partial Shade Wildflower Mix last year and planted them in a variety of areas around my wooded yard. This year in May I was delighted with these beautiful foxgloves blooms! I am mostly buying native plants these days to support local wildlife, but I think I'll have to buy these again as a guilty pleasure. ;)

None grew to maturity. Not sure any sprouted.

I wanted a shade flower plant that was pretty, resistant to deer and low maintenance to plant in the treeline of the woods that back up to my house.. Thats what I expected that Foxglove was and I wasnt disapointed. My soil was shady shallow woodland soil, full of stones and roots.Needless to say,one cant broadcast them onto unprepared ground and expect them to grow. Instead I tilled the soil to about an inch deep and seeded about half and put the other half into planters in potting soil, and transplanted them into the same ground. About 1/10 of the broadcasted seeds sprouted and about 3/4 of the potted seeds sprouted.The first year: no blossoms( I expected that). The second year: so many blossoms that the neighbors were coming over to see them. Deer and other vermin dont touch them. I am very pleased.

in 2003 I added some American Meadows foxglove and theee other seeds recommended for part shade to the grass mixture my contractor hydroseeded on a cut made on a steep north facing slope. In 2004 the floxglcve was magnificent. Ineed, it was the only flower seed that took. In 2013 it is all over every shady spot in my garden. I like the casual country garden look and am OK with that but beware. In the right conditions this is invasive.

I scattered a pound of these in 2010 and never saw any germinate. However, this year (2011) I did notice three that bloomed behind the shed inside a rolled up bit of fence (see picture). They were stunning. It's a shame that more didn't survive. I have a feeling that the young plants found the protection they needed inside the fence. I have had luck starting foxglove indoors, but once transplanted outside, they died. They may do better in pots where they can be protected from the elements or in areas that don't have heavy wind.

I didn't pay much attention to these seeds after I scattered them in good, moist soil under partial to full shade. Still, one would think that at least a few of the 4,753,000 seeds comprising the pound of seeds I scattered would have germinated within two years, and none of them have so far as I can tell. American Meadows should be clear about the germination problems of this flower on its website. To be fair, I now understand that many full-shade plants may require several years to germinate from seed. This may be just as well in my case: After sowing these I read that they're quite poisonous to pets, and don't have a smell or taste mechanism to repel them so that they might be quite dangerous to dogs or cats.
