Sown in autumn, plants form a rosette over winter and send up flower spikes the following spring; bloom comes about 5-6 months from sowing.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I sow foxglove seeds in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow in autumn (September-October) in the plains or spring in the hills.

Keep the soil rich and evenly moist, as foxgloves resent drying out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51049789653238,"sku":"SED-FLW-DIGITALIS-001","price":74.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-digitalis-purpurea-common-foxglove-mixed-color-flower-seeds-16968824914060.jpg?v=1782712407","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/foxglove-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
