Foxy!

This foxy arrangement is filled with towering lavender foxgloves, deep purple Coral Bells, mixed with a splash of red veined Sorrel inside a classical metal urn lined with sphagnum moss. Hard not to fall in love!

Foxgloves are biennials, which means they flower on the second year’s growth. Annuals die back every year and need to be replaced, but it takes biennials two years to flower. Perennials come by every year.

This arrangement will be featured in a book I’m writing on container gardens with Artisan Books and will be published in 2024!

LIGHT: Full sun

WATER: Water when the top of the soil is dry.

FERTILIZER: Feed once a month with a diluted liquid fertilizer.

CARE: Deadhead the spent flowers on the Foxgloves to encourage a second flush, and then let the second round of flowers set seed to they can spread in the garden or be saved to start seedlings. Replace the Foxglove with another showstopper plant. The Coral Bells and Sorrel are perennials.
