Foxgloves in containers

hyacinthgirl
17 years ago

I love foxgloves but, living in an apartment, don't have any wet, shady areas. Has anyone successfully grown foxgloves in containers on their balcony?

Although my deck is south-facing, I can create some shade and in fact have a large conifer covering a portion of the deck, which gives some filtered sunlight, at best, to that area.

I live in Vancouver, so it isn't too hot here at the best of times.

I'd appreciate any advice; thanks,

Laura
