Foxglove Coral Chimes are vibrant coral-pink bells with a delicate pastel blush of peach positively drip from tall, stately stems. Foxgloves are the classic choice to add strong vertical accents to cottage garden borders. A strikingly beautiful statement as a cut flower.
Sow direct where they are to grow or in trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Press lightly into surface and keep moist. For best colour and prolonged flowering, choose a lightly shaded, moist position. Water well during warm dry weather. Water regularly at base of plant to avoid fungal diseases. Remove central flower spike when blooms fade to encourage smaller side shoots to develop. Foxgloves are poisonous, so wear gloves when handling them. For longer lasting cut flowers, scald the freshly cut stem in near-boiling water for a couple of minutes. Plant height 1m | Germination 14 - 21 days | Flowering 18 - 20 weeks
