Foxgloves prefer moist, well-drained soil and partial shade. They are biennial, meaning they grow foliage the first year and flower the second before setting seed and dying. Deadheading can prevent self-seeding if desired.
All parts of the Foxglove plant are toxic if ingested, containing cardiac glycosides. Handle with care and keep away from children and pets.
