Characteristics and Care of Foxglove

White foxglove is a relatively compact flower with a height of approximately 100 centimetres, making it striking in tall vases and larger bouquets. To keep your foxglove looking fresh for as long as possible, we recommend placing it in a bright spot indoors – preferably near a window.
