I will sow my seeds of foxgloves in 1 month in the middle of a double alley of roses and peonies in shades of pink and purple. It should be splendid.

Description
Foxglove 'Snowy Mountain' is a striking selection that displays unique spikes of bright white upward-facing flowers, with delicate purple spotted throats. Foxgloves are hardy biennials or perennials, producing tall, erect flower spikes covered with tubular flowers above a rosette of deep green leaves. Superb in light shade and woodland gardens in humus-rich, well-drained soils.
Digitalis purpurea, commonly known as Foxglove, is herbaceous biennial plant (perennial if the flower spikes are pruned before seeding). It belongs to the Scrophulariaceae family. During the first year, it forms a large 45cm rosette of coarse dark green leaves, with toothed margins and prominent veins. They are covered in fine, greyish white hairs that give the leaves a soft, woolly appearance. During its second year, in May-June, up to 5 hollow, sturdy stems emerge from the rosette. 'Snowy Mountain' grows to about 140cm tall, carrying dense flower spikes made up of numerous upward-facing tubular flowers. The flowers bloom from the base of the spike upwards, attracting honey bees and bumblebees by the dozen. They are pure white on the outside, delicately spotted with deep purple on the inside.
Foxgloves enjoy dappled sunlight to part-shade and cool, humus-rich soils. They pair well with roses or single-flowered perennials such as columbines, cornflowers, Astrantias or Thalictrum. Try growing them in large containers on the patio to make the most of the long-lasting blooms! Foxgloves also fit naturally into woodland gardens alongside perennial geraniums, Heucheras and ferns. The tall flower spikes are suitable for cutting and look fabulous in large arrangements.
Digitalis purpurea seeds are best left to experienced, seasoned gardeners as they are extremely small, like fine dust.

Planting and care
Sowing indoors will be done from March to May in a mixture of turf and garden soil. Gently press the seeds on the surface of the substrate as they need light to germinate. Keep them constantly moist but not waterlogged at a temperature of 20°C. You will need to wait two to four weeks before the young plants appear. When they are strong enough to handle, place them in pots and gradually acclimatize them to outdoor conditions. Sowing in place is done from May to June when the risk of frost has passed or at the end of the season from September to October in a prepared soil. Make sure to keep the soil moist. Thin out and space your plants about 30cm (11.8in) apart.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
