Water: False foxgloves thrives in consistently moist environments, requiring weekly watering to maintain soil hydration without over-saturation. This plant efficiently utilizes natural precipitation, aligning its growth cycles with water availability to enhance resilience and adaptability to varying conditions.

Propagation: False foxgloves propagate from seeds, requiring cold stratification for dormancy breaking. Key factors include light, temperature, and well-draining soil. Scatter post-stratification seeds on the surface, maintaining consistent moisture for spring germination. Handle with care to avoid root disturbance, as false foxgloves are sensitive in this regard.
