A Border Pic

Looks lovely Jacque, I love the red bellis.......

Foxgloves, I love em. Mine are quite slow getting going this year and I think IO lost quite a few seedlings over the winter. Probably rotted in our horrible clay soil!

Thanx Milky :) I grew all the Foxgloves in My Border from Seed I Collected last Yr Paul :) But Sadly iv lost the Parent Plants :(

Well, strictly speaking Jacque, they should die as they are biennials not perrenials but some plants do seem to continue the next year.

OMG i didnt know that Paul ! I thought Foxgloves were Perrenial :/ Thanx 4 telling me :)

lovely border Jacque

If you can find one called D. x mertonensis, it is perennial anda fantastic crushed strawberry colour, although not as elegant as the wild ones.
They were in my 'local' but were €6.99, so I left them and when I relented a few days later ........ yes, they were gone.

Thanx Eileen :) "D.x mertonensis" il keep an eye open 4 that 1 Vince :)

I love the foxgloves ... at this time of the year it looks as though they have taken over my garden , they will be everywhere next year Jacque :o)

Looks lovely Jacque.

I have a perrenial Digitalis(Lutea) Jacque/VincentD, but the flowers are tiny and nothing like the spectacle of the biennials. Also, they are particularly rampant spreaders and will swamp other plants if given the opportunity. I nearly lost my lovely red/leaved Penstemon a couple of years ago but rescued it just in time before it was completely smothered!

Id Love My Foxgloves to Self Seed Amy but il still grow some myself Just Incase they dont ;) Glad u like this Border 2 Dawn :) Think il stick with My Lovely Foxgloves iv already got Paul :)

Very nice Jacque.

Thanx Clarice This Border is only a Year Old :)

The other trick to keep Digitalis for a few years is to pinch the flowers off 1 or 2 stems and they may keep the plant going. Worth it if you find a really good form.

Really nice Jacque that the type of boarder I want to get... :>)

Looking lovely Jacque....foxgloves are a super backdrop and statement plant....like Vincent says...if you cut the main stem off when its dying, all the other small ones will grow tall too!

il give it ago Vince/Janey Thanx :) Im sure u can get this Look Mic its very easy :)
