Mini,

In the Deep South (that would be you) you need to start Foxglove in the Fall (Nov) and protect them from temps below 28*. You might get a few flowers in spring. Look for the foxglove known as http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/54594/. Most will not flower for you, too hot too fast. Washington state to central California is their perfect climate.

There is another plant, not a true Foxglove called African Foxglove, http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/897/ that would do very well in your zone. I grow it and it is easy, drought tolerant and if you plant enough of them, close together they put on a good show all summer.>
