Foxgloves / Saving & Sowing Seed NOW for next year's blooms / Homegrown Garden
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- Foxgloves are one of my favourite native species of wildflowers and I encourage them to grow and spread as much as possible on my allotment because they are also a favourite of the bees. In this mini episode I'll chat about why they're great to grow and show you a few different ways to save the seed and why it's important to sow now for next year's blooms.

That grey bench that turns into table is wicked
A convertible!
Best freebie ever
Your shaking reminded me of someone first learning to fence. Very entertaining.
Gardening should never be taken too seriously!
3:33 that bench-table 😍
Katrina, since discovering your channel about two years ago I've noticed your videos become better and better. I mildly chastised you back then when you made a comment about your voice. I think you encountered what we all find when we here our voice recorded for the first time. I not only enjoy your videos for the gardening hints but you are such a pleasure to listen to - a clear confident voice and a lovely smile - keep up the good work!
That was one long foxglove. I thought mine had done well. As you, foxgloves are one of my favorite if not my most favorite flower. Nice video. Have a great day or evening since you are ahead of me. I'm in NE Ohio in the U.S.
Here in hot and humid East Tenn, USA, the Foxies grow really well in partial shade and SHADE. I sprinkle the seed in an outside open nursery bed in late summer and they grow into little plants all winter long; ready to be planted in any of the garden beds in the spring.
That’s good to know, cause I was wondering about if they would grow here in Virginia.
I love Foxgloves (Fingerhut) too. I had several plants scattered in my 2 large flowerbeds. There are a few large plants popping up. Keeping fingers crossed that I get many blooms next spring 😊
Happy Gardening from Berlin, Germany 💚💚🌻💗🌺🌷🍀🐝🐝
I do grow foxgloves here in Florida. It took a few years to get them acclimated but now that they have self seeded a few years they do their thing.
I have some English gardens with foxglove...but, still learning 🌹😁 (New Hampshire, USA)
Hi Katrina, I’ve only just come across your videos/channel and I love them! You are so passionate about your plot, I love it. Great tips, instructions and just a great calming watch. It’s great to see you are not obsessive about weeds, weeds are my nemesis!! Arghhh x
Foxgloves are bi-annual because they grow across 2 years, germinate at the end of summer, grow in autumn, hibernate through winter, grow again in spring and flower in full throughout summer... They don't have a 2 years (730 day cycle).... Thanks for the explanation❤
Great idea to flick the seed stem about the garden. My wife will find that very helpful as well as the bag method.
Thank you Miss. It is a lovely video and answered my curiosity about whether hybrid varieties produce seeds. Also I was reassured to hear you say that the seed can be simply scattered. I have been doing that in the hope that they would grow for the benefit of bees, but then fretted that I should have made more effort! Nature seems to be more successful than me at growing things sometimes! Time will tell but, given the amount of seeds I scattered, I imagine at least one will germinate!
Grow well here in Oregon- the Pacific Northwest of the US-
Thanks for sharing the video and the great form when jousting the seeds off!
Fox gloves are beautiful, flower over a few month.....
I've got 5 self setters of ranging from light pink to white and they are in the gap between the roadside tarmac and my house front wall..... A few people on my street are keeping eye out for seed time...
Lovely video
I m living in Belgium.
Received fresh harvested seeds a few days ago ....I ve sown it directly around trees .
Hopefulky they wil germinate well.
Pams choice seems to me a fabulous variety.
I prefer white above pink.
But love them all ...
Its sad that they are poisonous ....as a child they looked like candy to me.
My granny warned mr several times.
Thank you granny.
Thank you for this nice video.
Greetings from Belgium.
I’ve just been looking at some unusual varieties to grow for next year! Hope yours grow well for you!
Beautiful flowers !
So beautiful !
They're beautiful!
So is Katrina. I think she's a beauty too.
@@magoolew5131 indeed
Hi I love your foxgloves and I see you are good at sword fencing 🤺 , thanks a good idea with the paper bag have to try that one , take care be safe 🍓🍓
My foxgloves have self set already, I have about 15 baby plants!!! 🙌🏻
Yay!!
Amazing
Greetings from New Zealand,love foxgloves,grow wild here in parts of NZ,I let them naturalise in my garden
Thank You so much. I don't grow them but I'm thinking I well . I have bees and I'll do most anything for them . I love my girls and don't charge them much rent.
South Carolina USA here. 2024 - first year growing foxgloves.
Thank you, very informative
Beautiful color thank fo the advice.
My favourite plant 👍👍💖
I have one Fox glove that is hanging on for dear life in 100* F weather here in Southern California. It's a little crispy around the edges, but I have hope now that it will bloom next Spring...I'm just how learning about biennial flowers....patience.
Method number 1 ist absolutely 👍🤣😂👍👍🤗
Khu vườn đẹp quá
Very cute
Your the kid of person I would love to LARP with! Love the music, my heart song💕💕👍🏼🇨🇦Calgary
You have an awesome garden, it's a real inspiration.
I love that garden seat that unfolds into a picnic table at 3:33, never seen one before.
Any chance of a quick 'walk around' video of it please , with a couple of key dimensions , so I can make one?
Regards Paul in NZ
You're really charming with an easy and well edited video to watch. I'm trying to find the best way to seperate my Foxgloves' stems after 3 layers of petals, many seeds were planted together, what do you recommend? Thank you.
Great video
I bought and planted 6 white dalmatians, due to self seeding i now have 14 young plants
Had no idea they were so poisonous! Thank you
Nice video, thank you. I like your bench that turns into a table! Where did you get it? (I am in the UK)
@@baward it’s was second hand!
What type of bench table set up is that?!!
I love them, but they went in to my compost bin. I got Foxgloves in every pot this year. so this year they was put under my epeltree. :)
I have foxglove here in Michigan. One thing to note is that they don't flower the first year (up here) they are green plants on the ground, they stay green through our harsh winters. The foxglove is also known as a poisonous species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae. It is toxic to the heart.
well I did not know these die back after blooms. 🙃 I cut back all the dead growth thinking I messed up and probably threw away all the seeding branches
My wife would love these flowers. She would love the apricot ones. i would love the blue colored ones. But i live in the states in north central texas. i wonder if they would grow well here?
After the seeds germinate in a container , how large of a seedling should they be before planting in the ground ? I’ve never been successful in starting my own , but hopefully after your wonderful video , I will!!
My seeds have now germinated and I’ll be pricking them out and potting into individual pots when they have they their 2nd pair of leaves (the first true leaves). I’ll plant them out probably around October time once they’re a bit bigger, more of a plug plant and able to withstand any damage from slugs, but they shouldn’t really be an issue!
I bought one from a nursery at year end sale in 2023. They bloomed in autumn and spring. They aren't finished yet, but a lot of the stems might just have seed pods. Not sure what to do. Heat wave here in Ontario Canada, July 3/24. Any advice appreciated!
Hello if I cut back the foxgloves after they have flowered... Will they produce another set of flowers this year... Thank you
lol random question, but where'd you get your pants from? they are so cute
What is the best substrate for foxglove? I use a wood mulch in my flower beds
I don't have any foxgloves at my allotment. I would love to have it, for the bees. I bought some seeds from garden centre previous years but none of them germinates. But l see them around here and there, perhaps the seeds quality wasn't good enough.
When I view UK content, I'm always getting new word differences with the US. Today was "secateur" for what we would call a "pruner" or "hand pruner". Lost in the Pond never covered that one. Maybe Laurance doesn't do much gardening.
Where did you get that bench from 😍😍😍
Facebook marketplace - my best freebie ever!
If the hybrids can't be sown from seeds, how do the nurseries do it? There's loads of named hybrids in the garden centre, someone must have propagated them somehow! Thanks!
"shake it like there's no tomorrow" haha Love it! Your foxgloves looked good enough to eat when they were blooming. Wishing i was a bee. bzzzz....(:
Yes.get them down your neck,Dont we all wish we were a bee.
Ok silly joke. Nobody please eat foxgloves or you will die.!
So no mulch on top?
I need your help
I want to convert certain area around memorial plaque of my father into beautiful garden
I don't understand how to begin with
Plz help🙏
Bom dia linda
So if no kids hope none around. And you did everything right as a kid.
Hi hope you are all good. So weirdly all of my VB'S sown this year are in flower. Now I am a gardening idiot just to make clear but I'm sure these are biannual? . I guess it's the exceptionally cold early never ending spring has caused this. Anyone help an ignoramus? . Be well and stay safe.
I think the weather can definitely factor into this and sometimes they may stress bloom early on much shorter stems. There are also a few bred varieties out there that will bloom in their first year but indeed most digitalis are biennial.
@@homegrowngarden thank you. These are about the normal height. All the same it's pleasing from a good memory point of view. Hopefully loads more seedlings for next year. And my tomatoes are just refusing to do any ripening as have said other growers. Be well and stay safe.
Thanks for sharing your fox glove knowledge, but disappointed to hear settler colonial term "British Isles" being used. I realise that’s mostly down to English (selective) education and a vestige of the British empire.
It's an old video, so hopefully you’re educated now about how problematic and offensive it is. If not, alternatives referring if referring to the Irish and British islands are, very straightforwardly the ‘Irish and British/British and Irish islands’ or ‘UK and Ireland’, or the ‘Irish and British Isles’ or the ‘Atlantic Archipelago’….you get the point, there’s MANY alternatives to choose from. Or if referring to the British islands, then the ‘British islands’.

Well, got kids ? One of the deedless plants around.
Nope but if I did I would teach them not to touch or eat things they don’t know about. 🙄
You are lovely! Maybe add that digitalis is a beta-blocker and deadly dangerous... Just saying!!!!!
I did mention that digitalis is poisonous. I’m not quite sure what you meant by all the rest 🥴
Here in Shelburne, Ontario , we are in Zone 4b, and foxgloves do very well. As a kid, we called them fairy hats.
Very informative video, thanks a mill from Ireland.

Digitalis is one of those words that is nice to say, Digitalis :-)
I love foxgloves. Medicinedprescribed for me as a child - digoxin- saved my life. It's made from foxgloves!
This season fox gloves have shone for all there worth ,unlike most years fading away quickly in SE england,more of a Hollyhock person myself,a tad more elegance about them
Made me giggle when you started sparring with invisible fencers 🤺
Ok you had me laughing at the sword fight with the foxgloves, perfect music too. Hello from Canada, new subscriber and I have a question. If the seeds do not come back to the original colour (pink ones shown) then how do you get true pink ones? I just love the soft pinks and apricots. Camelot Cream is one of my favourites as it was non stop blooming here in zone 6 until snow fell. I was so surprised it kept coming up with more stalks, I let it do it's thing. I did this shake, self seeding method and I literally have hundreds of tiny plants right now under the snow. I can see them when it melts. Can I move them once all risk of frost is gone? I would love to have them everywhere. I also noticed you said not to touch them but then you didn't wear gloves. I use latex gloves when handling or pruning them because it is hard to handle with gardening gloves. Happy Gardening :)

Yes, I have sown seeds and now have hundrends of foxgloves seedlings, looking for advice on how to overwinter them in England, they are still small, are they going to survive outdoors...? 🤔
A couple questions....1. If i let them self seed will the seeds grow since i have the bed mulched with cedar mulch?
2. If i collect the seed and start them in a tray can i jyst transplant the seedlungs where i want and will they survive northern illinois winters?
i love foxgloves lovely flower
Is there a way to get really tall foxgloves? I have failed to get one as tall as me since the first one.
c'mon the bees
Could you please do a video on how to deadhead foxgloves.
I live east of Berlin and am currently staring my very first garden from scratch! I already prepped my foxgloves in pots on my balcony, so I hope to have a lot of flowers from them next year! ❤️ Thank you for your videos, I find them very inspirational and like your style of gardening a lot!
I once visit your country over 35 years ago ,you have a beautiful country, 😀
is it possible to keep them in containers ?
That bench table, though!
In my garden here in the Netherlands I have had foxgloves for the last couple of years. I think I've introduced them by sowing once directly in summer and now every year I see some coming up. This year there were only white ones, the years before mostly pink ones. Love the apricot by the way! They may have cross pollinated with your other ones, excited to see what nature makes of that mix! Gr. Debbie
love fox gloves, grow well in Nelson New Zealand in partial shade
Love you so much, love your garden skills!!! More power to you!
Lucky you, your foxgloves are beautiful. They don’t work for me, but I can appreciate your.👍❤️😊
I’m in Normandy & this has been the best Foxglove spring. None in my little meadow though, so I’ll rear some from wild seeds as you demo here 👍
Could you give us an update on whether the seeds you shook actually germinated?
Started growing these in San Francisco. They love the climate here!
thanks for sharing useful tips
I adore foxgloves, lovely video. :)
Love to see you again... Love the video... Stay safe...
Beautiful flowers 💐
Always liked Foxgloves, they grow wild here too near the coast, where it's naturally wetter.
Hi from the Midlands!
Thanks for this handy little video 😃
I have a foxglove growing, it's lost some flowers and I'll leave it to go completely brown/dry before shaking seeds out but I have woodchip/bark in my beds. Can the seeds be shaken straight on top of that or will I need to rake back some of the woodchip and clear a patch for them wherever I want them to grow? Thanks in advance!
There will be more chance if you rake it back but the seeds are tiny so I’m sure they will fall through and wash down enough with the rain 🙂
@@homegrowngarden brilliant 😀 thank you for taking the time to reply!
I love Foxgloves! I wish I had a patch of woodland for these beauties. I have been successful with Foxgloves here in the low desert of Arizona! I love having them each year in my early spring garden.
Here in Kentucky I’ve planted this spring in full sun. Purchased the whole plant from local vendor. Fingers crossed…..
Love your channel👍👍👍👍👍
omg that bench!! i need one!
We have never had much luck with D,purpea in our garden, I think it is much too hot for them, but the Woolly Foxglove, D, lanata, does very well, it is a very attractive species, and I think tolerates the hotter conditions, many thanks for posting this video it is well balanced and interesting, and of course well presented! Chris B.
What a lovely video. Upstate NY here. Foxgloves (my first) are transplanted to their garden sights and looking forward to next years show. LOVED the shaking stalk seeding method.
