Approx 500 Purple, Pink & White Foxglove seeds Organic Home Grown. Latin name Digitalis purpurea also known as common or purple foxglove Boy these seeds have got stories and have been to magical places! These seeds need light to germinate! Do not cover them. Foxglove seeds are tiny by the way!!!!! Very hard to count 500 is an approximate amount. Rabbit and deer resistant. All parts of this plant are toxic including the seeds. This seed lot is a trifecta of my own seed that originated from the wild when I lived in the Cali Redwoods along the ocean, a single purchased foxglove from Galice, OR, along the Rogue River, and from several flowers on my neighbors beautiful creek side property in the mountains! The colors will be a mix of purplish pinks and shades of lighter pinks and white. All stunning. I’m not a huge fan of white flowers but these are incredible. There tend to be more purple pinks. All organic, all collected in reverence, love and sustainability. Growing conditions: These are short lived perennials flowering in their second year, but I have seen many of these flower in their first year! They self seed abundantly as you will see, they give off thousands of seeds each, replanting themselves and appearing to be long term perennials. Foxglove are surprisingly tough and can handle high heat, and need full sun with a bit of shade, but prefer humidity, moist run off areas, near creeks etc, or just being watered well, but having said that I live on a sweltering, bone dry mountain top and they did great! They volunteered in my garden which means they slept in the soil for a long time before deciding where and when to pop up. I’ve learned that if you have sub par soil conditions, seeds benefit from being planted in the fall. The ectomycorrhizae (mycelium) will connect with it and make it stronger over the fall, winter and spring and you will have a superior plant when it’s time to sprout. I suggest end of summer planting for springtime sprouts!
