Since the South African Foxglove is actually a tender perennial rather than an annual, I was considering keeping it in a pot and overwintering it inside. We did this with our American Bush Violet, Browallia speciosa, and it has rewarded us with continuous blooming since summer of 2010. Its blue flowers add a welcome splash of color to our kitchen windowsill during the gloomy months of winter. Apparently the South African Foxglove would require a much larger pot and a position on the floor by our patio doors rather than on a windowsill.
