Roses Foxgloves and roses make a classic combination. The tall spires of  foxgloves complement the bushy growth of roses, providing a vertical  element to the garden. Foxgloves can help fill in the spaces between  rose bushes and add color and texture, especially in the spring and  early summer.

Hostas For a woodland or shaded garden, hostas are an excellent companion  for foxgloves. Hostas’ large, lush foliage contrasts beautifully with  the vertical spikes of foxgloves. Both plants thrive in partial to full  shade, creating a serene and lush garden setting.

Ferns Ferns and foxgloves together create a natural and woodland-like feel.  The delicate fronds of ferns provide a soft, airy texture that  complements the tall, bold flowers of foxgloves. This combination works  well in shaded or semi-shaded areas, adding depth and interest to your  garden.

Aquilegia (Columbine) Columbines are excellent companions for foxgloves due to their  similar growing conditions and complementary blooming times. Both plants  prefer partial shade and well-drained soil. 

Astilbe Astilbes are fantastic companions for foxgloves, especially in shaded  or partially shaded gardens. Astilbes’ fluffy, plume-like flowers add a  different texture and color to the garden. Their blooms often coincide  with foxgloves, creating a harmonious and colorful display.

Brunnera (Siberian Bugloss) Brunnera’s heart-shaped leaves and delicate blue flowers provide a  beautiful ground cover beneath the towering foxgloves. This combination  works well in shady areas, adding both foliage interest and flower  power.

Lupines Lupines and foxgloves together create a striking vertical display.  Both plants enjoy similar soil conditions and partial shade. Lupines’  tall, spiky flowers come in various colors, complementing the pastel  hues of foxgloves.
