Foxglove can be sown in the other three seasons except winter. The climate varies in different regions, so the planting time needs to be determined according to the local climate. Generally speaking, its planting time is mainly concentrated in spring and autumn, that is, January to March and August to September.

How to plant foxglove

2. Sowing soil: Foxglove is generally sown in sunny, sheltered and flat land. The weeds on the soil need to be removed, and the soil needs to be leveled and cultivated.

3. Sowing: After processing the foxglove seeds, you can spread them evenly in the soil. The sowing depth needs to be kept at about 2 cm. Cover with a thin layer of soil, and then water to keep it moist.
