Foxglove Mix Art Pack Seeds
A lovely biennial digitalis mix in complementary shades of purple, pink, and white. If planted early, some plants will bloom the first year; the full mix should reveal itself the following year. Self sows readily if happy. Reaches heights of 2-3'. Will tolerate partial shade. Note that Foxglove is poisonous if ingested.
Growing Instructions
Start indoors 10-12 weeks before last frost, sowing the seeds on the surface of the soil as light aids in germination. Mist or bottom water until germination. Harden off and transplant outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Benefits from starting in a biodegradable pot, as its roots can be sensitive to disturbance during transplant.

Meet the Makers
Hudson Valley Seed Co is the best source for heirloom and open-pollinated garden seeds and beautiful garden-themed contemporary art. They are a values-driven seed company that practices and celebrates responsible seed production and stewardship. They have our own certified organic farm in upstate New York where they produce much of what they sell.
The folks at Hudson Valley Seed Company are both farmers and storytellers who are committed to growing organically, sourcing locally and sustainably, and preserving crop diversity by selecting unique, rare, and hard-to-find varieties. Every seed in their catalog is open pollinated, many are heirloom and organic, and they are never GMO. They believe that a seed is more than meets the eye: it is a time capsule telling tales of the plants, crops, and people that came before us, and they work with a range of artists as diverse as their seeds to pass those stories down to present and future gardeners.
