foxglove

Foxglove (Digitalis 'Takforoiv' FOXLIGHT ROSE IVORY) is a perennial that prefers full sun to partial shade and fertile, well-draining soil. It should be watered deeply and regularly to keep the soil evenly moist but not saturated. Water approximately 1 inch of water per week - more in hotter temperatures and less in cooler temperatures. During the summer months, container-grown plants may need to be watered more often due to evaporation. Check the soil and water when it feels dry. During the cooler months, watering is usually not necessary and can even be detrimental. Make sure the plants have adequate air circulation and remove any excess water that may accumulate to prevent root rot.

Foxglove (Digitalis 'Takforoiv' FOXLIGHT ROSE IVORY) prefers full sun to partial shade and should receive at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. This plant does not do well in areas that are shaded by tall trees or buildings. When the sun is too intense, its leaves may suffer from sunburn. Partial shade or filtered sunlight is best. For best results, provide the Foxglove with full sun in the morning and then partial shade in the afternoon.

For Foxglove (Digitalis 'Takforoiv' FOXLIGHT ROSE IVORY), the optimal time for pruning is early spring or late fall. Even though pruning isn't necessary to keep it alive, it will help keep the shape of the plant and promote vigorous growth. When pruning, take off dead and damaged stems as well as those with weak or spindly growth. Make sure to make clean, angled cuts near the base of the stem and leave at least 2 sets of leaves to help the plant recover. Generally, only removing about 20-25% of the entire plant's stems is recommended. This will encourage an even growth pattern and allow the plant to remain in a healthy shape for the season.
