Re: Please Everyone geoff replies

Dear Ron,
I have found Foxgloves to be one of the easier germinaters. You can sow them on
the surface of a sterile soil mixture and put a baggie over them and place in the
refrigerator, or on the surface of a moist paper towel rolled up and placed in a
plastic bag and refrigerated. Then come spring should you not want to prick out
the seedlings you can take the pot or towel and shake the seed off into the garden
where you want them to grow. Foxglove seed has good viability, so if you store the
unopened packets in a cool dry place they will remain good for several years or
more.
