foxglove

Foxglove (Digitalis FOXLIGHT RUBY GLOW) should be watered fairly regularly, but not too often. Aim to water it once a week in the summer months and about once every 10 days in the winter months. Additionally, check the soil weekly to ensure that it’s not overly saturated with water. The soil should be allowed to dry out a bit when it comes to watering this species. It’s best to provide water at the base of the plant and avoid wetting the foliage to avoid disease and fungal infection.

Foxglove (Digitalis FOXLIGHT RUBY GLOW) enjoys full sun to partial shade, meaning it should receive a minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight each day. In ideal conditions, it can get up to 6 hours of sunlight, but it should always be protected from mid-afternoon heat and direct sunlight. On especially hot days, foxglove should be given some light shade. Additionally, foxglove should not be planted in full shade, as this will decrease flowering. When growing foxglove in full sun, it’s best to provide morning and late afternoon shade to ensure that the plant gets enough moisture.

Foxglove (Digitalis FOXLIGHT RUBY GLOW) is a beautiful flowering plant that blooms in late spring to early summer. Pruning is a good way to keep your foxglove healthy and encourage the plant to produce more flowers. Pruning should be done after the foxglove has finished flowering, in late summer or early fall. When pruning foxglove, you should not prune too much of the stem-- about an inch or 2 is enough. This will help to keep the plant's energy focused on blooming again next spring. Make sure to prune back any brown or dead leaves or flowers as these can spread disease. Additionally, you should consider cutting away the flower stems directly below the blooms as this will help encourage more blooms. Lastly, make sure to use sterilized pruning shears to avoid any potential spread of disease.
