How to prune strawberry foxglove

Cut spent flower spikes back immediately after flowering (late spring to early summer). Snip each flower spike at its base once blooms have faded but before seed pods fully mature. Leave the leafy basal rosette completely intact. A light tidy of any dead or tatty leaves can be done in early spring before new growth emerges.

Once after flowering each season; light tidy in early spring. Strawberry Foxglove is a true perennial hybrid that reliably returns each year. Cut flower spikes back to basal foliage after blooming to encourage a second flush of smaller spikes and maintain a tidy clump. Unlike biennial foxgloves, the foliage rosette persists and should not be removed — it is the plant's growing crown.
