How to Grow and Care for Wild Foxglove

Wild Foxglove, also known as False Foxglove, Large-Flowered Beardtongue, Foxglove, Cobaea Beardtongue, Prairie penstemon, Prairie beardtongue, Large flowered beardtongue

Wild Foxglove is a robust perennial suited for beginner gardeners. It thrives in well-draining soil with full to partial sunlight, requiring minimal maintenance. Special care points include occasional deep watering to mimic natural habitat conditions and avoiding over-saturation to prevent root rot.

Wild Foxglove exhibits a striking presence with its cluster of large, bell-shaped flowers, which are often a vivid shade of purple or violet. The blooms are borne atop erect stems reaching up to 2 feet (60 cm) in height. Its foliage consists of thick, lance-shaped leaves that are predominantly basal. These leaves can add a lush greenery to the base, contrasting nicely with the eye-catching flowers. Wild Foxglove is particularly recognized for its relationship with specialized bees such as Osmia (Melanosmia) distincta, which are attracted to and feed on its nectar and pollen.
