Cut Flower Foxglove Dalmatian Seedling Pack

Sale price$35.00
Foxglove Suttons Apricot:

Digitalis purpurea

Cut Flower Foxglove seedlings, grown in Marlborough by Gray Floral, shipping NZ wide.

Foxgloves really do create a place for the fairies in the cutting garden - there is something so special about a foxie patch at golden hour. They're one of our favourite 'spike' cut flowers and they add a touch of magic to bouquets. 

The Dalmation series are first year flowering, so if you didn't get your autumn biennial foxies in, there is still time to get flowers this season! Uniform growing with tall spires and speckled throats.

Though generally upright growing, the wonky stems are by far my favourite. Loved by the bumblebees who will happily make the long florets a bed for the night. Goes beautifully with all the pastel shades of ranuncs!  Happy in full sun or part shade. 

Foxies are heavy feeders - make sure to plant them into well fed soil, and throw some food their way in early spring and again after the first flush. 

*All parts of the foxglove plant and flower are toxic if ingested by people or animals. Please be aware of this when planting and arranging*

NOTES ON GROWING

Height: 1-1.2m+

Spacing: 30-40cm. 

Harvest: When one or two flowers on the spike have opened. Harvesting the first big spike encourages further flowering.  

Vase life: 7 days

All our seedlings are grown in a custom cut flower mix which contains Trichoderma to assist in healthy root development and resistance to root pathogens. To give your seedlings the best start in your garden we recommend soaking them in a weak seaweed feed (or one of our "Seedling Shots") before planting. 

We are proud to be partnering with Sustaina Grow to package our seedlings in a wool wrap that maintains moisture and protects the seedlings in transit. On arrival, take your plants out of the box and give them a good drink of water - you can leave them wrapped in the wool to do this! When you're ready to plant or pot on you can unwrap the seedlings, but they will happily spend a couple of days in their wool blanket before planting.

This wool liner makes a wonderful mulch mat that can be used with your seedlings or around any plant in your garden. Everything apart from labels (which we hope you'll use in the garden and time and time again) and stickers are compostable, in an effort to keep our shipping sustainable for the environment.
