Three things I wish someone had told me before growing Foxglove

After growing Foxglove for over a year here is what I'd tell a beginner.

First: sowing directly into poor soil as rich soil encourages weeds is not optional — it's the foundation everything else depends on. Second: dog walkers or trampling on unmown meadow areas will happen and you should know how to handle it before it does. Third: a container with a meadow mix for a balcony genuinely matters — the right position unlocks exceptional wildlife value for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies in a way a poor position never will. seed setting and dispersal in late summer is the payoff for getting all of this right. It's worth every bit of effort.
