Extended stretches of overcast, rainy weather or sustained high temperatures can make the plant more likely to die. During winter, protecting it from cold improves its chances of survival.

Plateau false foxglove responds well to regular, dilute applications of fertilizer to encourage healthy leaf growth. You should feed Plateau false foxglove about once a month during the summer. Nitrogen is important for foliage, and adding nitrogen-rich sources helps Plateau false foxglove thrive.

The Plateau false foxglove is known for its tubular flowers and delicate foliage. To encourage blooming, it’s best to prune the plant from early to late spring, focusing on removing any weak stems to improve air circulation.
