250 Slender False Foxglove Seeds – Agalinis tenuifolia Native Pink Wildflower for Prairie Gardens

Slender False Foxglove (Agalinis tenuifolia) is a delicate native annual or short-lived perennial wildflower that brings a soft, natural beauty to prairies, meadows, and open woodland gardens. Its slender, airy stems are adorned with small, tubular pink to lavender flowers that bloom from late summer into fall, attracting bees and other pollinators. This understated wildflower is an excellent choice for native plant enthusiasts, pollinator gardens, and naturalized areas where it can self-seed and form loose colonies.

With its fine texture and late-season color, Slender False Foxglove pairs well with native grasses and other prairie perennials. It thrives in sunny to partly shaded sites with moist to average soil, making it a versatile addition to rain gardens, bioswales, and meadow plantings. Though it may be short-lived, it readily reseeds in suitable conditions, providing years of seasonal interest.
