Common foxglove 'Virtuoso'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Virtuoso is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea).

First-year flowering from seed.

Aim to sow 0.0 inches (0.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 5.85 inches (15.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 16°C / 61°F to ensure good germination.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing Virtuoso about 70 days before your last frost date.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Virtuoso is a hardy plant.
