Water:
Mullein foxglove thrives in consistent moisture, preferring evenly moist soil with weekly watering. While moderately drought-tolerant, it benefits from balanced hydration and drainage. Water needs increase during the growing season and decrease as it approaches dormancy.
Fertilize:
To enhance mullein foxglove's growth, apply balanced fertilizer during the vegetative stage and high-nitrogen as it nears bloom. Administer quarterly, avoiding over-fertilization. Adjust feeding in fall and winter, applying at the root zone to prevent leaf contact. Use calibrated applicators for accurate dosage.

Mullein foxglove features lush foliage and vibrant blooms. Prune in early to late spring before new growth. Remove damaged stems to enhance health and bloom quality. Use clean, sharp tools to reduce disease risk, ensuring mullein foxglove remains appealing and robust.
