Native to South east Europe.

     

    GROWING INFORMATION:

    Surface sow early spring in a cold frame. The seed usually germinates in 2 - 4 weeks at 20°C. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out in the summer. Succeeds in semi-shade on ordinary garden soil, especially if it is rich in organic matter. It can also succeed in dry soils once established.

    An unusual and rarely offered species, a true perennial foxglove and the bees love it!
