How can I use foxglove in the landscape?

A

Use tall foxgloves in the landscape for the back row of mixed borders, to attract hummingbirds, and plant white foxglove flowers to brighten a moon garden.

Q

Does foxglove spread aggressively?

A

Foxgloves freely self-seed, creating a sustained patch that produces flowers annually. However, foxglove is not considered an aggressive spreader.

No, deer tend to stay away from foxglove plants.

Q

Do I need to prune back my flowers after blooms fade?

A

Cut back main flower spike as the blooms fade to encourage growth of flowering side shoots.
