Foxgloves do not like heat or drought and will languish in unfavourable conditions. Water deeply & often. Afternoon shade in hot summers.
The trick to getting the longest vase life from foxglove is to cut it before the bees find it. When the blooms are pollinated they drop from the stems, so harvest early when just a few blossoms are open. Expect a vase life of 6-8 days if flower preservative is used.
*All parts of the plants are poisonous if ingested. Wear gloves when harvesting and use caution around children and pets.*The purchaser assumes all liability relating to the use of this product
