Hello Gilly,
I am assuming that you are refering to a cultivated variety
of Digitalis Purpurea.
Ideally they should have been sown much earlier, but as there are so many seeds
in a packet, I think you could experiment by sowing a few. I would suggest
surface sowing them on moist finely sieved compost, perhaps indoors, at 70F,
not excluding light. In your greenhouse, keep them well spaced apart, and
always pot on, when pot bound. I have grown all kinds of foxgloves over the
years, and think it most unlikely that they will not flower next year, but I
don't think you will win any prizes with them!
I think you will find the Chiltern Seeds web site very
interesting - they offer many different varieties. Please see the following
link www.chilternseeds.co.uk
Best of luck,
John

Thanks.
