    So beautiful. I am only just now adding them to my garden but making up for lost time

    I love foxgloves. They just are so prolific even in my terrible damp clay soil. Nice thing too is that they maintain greenery even in -10 and under snow. Best part is it’s the one plant that deers won’t even nibble on to give a try 😊.

      I agree and so glad they do well even in your terrible soil. I need to spread some in the area I have that is very much clay and see if they will go ahead and grow, they haven't like it in the past but who knows, it could've been the year. Some years they reseed and grow like gangbusters and others there are less of them so I know it has to do with the weather or conditions during that season.

      Welcome to my channel. Not sure how my garden stuff would relate to you as your climate is so different than mine but you are welcome here.

    This was the year I was successful with foxgloves🎉. I have the spotted variety. And Yes, those seeds scatter very easily 😂.
    I chopped the stalks and collected them in an ice fishing sled-Wow! A lot of seeds! I dispersed them in a little meadow area I created and we will see what happens. I should probably have stirred up the soil, but should be enough open spots.
    They are quite happy on the east side of the house and we have sandy soil. They do lean a bit and do think they like afternoon shade. It tends to be dry and they don’t seem to mind, but they are quite thick and are huge so they probably conserve moisture. I do water them. I see new plants migrated down to the coneflower and we will see who wins 😂. 😂I just typed this and then you mentioned spreading seed thick and letting them beef it out on who gets to stay 😄 unbelievable!
    The bumblebees would be Highly disappointed if I didn’t continue growing them-They absolutely dominate them. I believe I started them in winter-sow containers.

      Yay for success, and they are easy enough to pull out if they migrate to areas you don't want them. I agree with you, the bumbles would be unhappy if I did not grow them either. Winter sowing is a great way to start them too but since it is so easy to just broadcast into the garden then it is one less step to take.

      @ I had a difficult time starting foxgloves, delphinium and Canterbury bells, but this last time it worked in winter-sow and yes, they readily reseed as I see them out there now. I had only a couple delphiniums that I started inside and the foxglove and bells look quite similar. Delphinium is a bit finicky for me yet.

    I love foxgloves. Mine were beautiful all fall. I had no idea they had that long of a bloom time. Thanks

      Sometimes things surprise us with how they perform. I had some shorter ones that bloomed well into Fall as well.

    A salad out of your flower garden.Oh my gosh, that's funny. So I have a question if I start my foxgloves in my greenhouse in late winter early spring, to plant them out, will I not get flowers this year? I live in indiana, zone 6. I love your videos. I feel like I haven't commented lately. I usually comment on every one of them, but i'm also playing catch-up.❤❤

      It depends on the variety. Some will bloom first year. Read the info on the packet, it should tell you. It is a busy time of year, just enjoy when you can. I appreciate you.

      I think they should do great for you, it is mild enough in summer they would most likely flourish. Toss a packet of seeds in an area and give it a whirl, see what happens. The best results come from experimentation.
