Agalinis Tenuifolia Seeds – 250 Slender False Foxglove Native Pink Wildflower

Agalinis tenuifolia, commonly known as slender false foxglove, is a delicate native annual wildflower that brings soft pink to purple blooms to prairies, meadows, and open woodlands. Its slender stems and fine, narrow leaves create an airy texture in the garden, while the tubular flowers provide a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. This native species is well-suited to naturalized plantings, pollinator gardens, and restoration projects where it can self-seed and return year after year under favorable conditions.

Slender false foxglove typically blooms from late summer into fall, offering late-season color when many other wildflowers have finished. It pairs beautifully with native grasses and other prairie perennials, adding vertical interest and ecological value to informal landscapes.

Planting & Care

Sow Agalinis tenuifolia seeds directly outdoors in late fall or early spring, as they benefit from natural stratification. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not bury deeply, as light may aid germination. Keep the area consistently moist until seedlings emerge. Thin seedlings to the recommended spacing to encourage healthy growth.

Once established, slender false foxglove requires minimal care. Water during extended dry periods, especially while plants are young. Allow flowers to mature and set seed to encourage self-sowing for future seasons. This species may benefit from the presence of nearby host plants, as it is partially parasitic on grass roots.
