Seeds are sown in rows, the distance between which should be 40 cm. One gram of seeds is sown per square meter of the plot. Grooves and holes should not be pre-made, the soil just needs to be loosened. Small foxglove seeds are distributed directly on the surface, since they simply cannot break through from under a thick layer of soil. Foxglove sprouts sprout in one to two weeks. Foxglove blooms next year. It reproduces well by self-seeding.
