Some advice regarding Foxgloves, when mine finishes flowering and have started to turn to seed I collect them and within a couple of weeks I will sow my seeds in flat tray, and leave them in my green house I will water only when needed and leave them to it.

Then about March the following year I will take out the individual seedlings and there are a lot and then pot them up. April mid I will put them in the ground where I want them to be and leave them to grow and they will flower now this year I have grown them like this for 2 years and this year will be my 3rd and the colours I get are lovely as the bees have mixed them, so for me I have Foxgloves every year.

Please try this and hopefully you will get the same results as me... Goodluck

Tina, do they grow the same year that you plant them in the ground? I thought they were biennial.
It really annoys me when sellers assure me that plants will flower this year, only to find that they need another year in the ground. So it would be fantastic if I could collect seed and have foxgloves every year.
