Beautiful, is there a certain type of fox glove that comes back every year ?😊

Thank you. Foxgloves are biennial, so they just grow leaves in the first year then flower in the second. But they do self seed freely so now I have learned to recognise them I don't weed them out and usually have lots!! Do you have a garden? They are really easy to grow.

Have a good night, Laurie xx

You do have a garden! Just seen the post of your amazing hosta! I split my big one this year as it was outgrowing it's pot, and put the three new ones in the ground, just as my slug gobbling thrush disappeared! Hostas are now full of holes :( xx

We had foxgloves last year and they were beautiful but in the end looked like they needed digging out, maybe try again.

I love my hosta , its 10 years old now 😊

Yes, once they've flowered they gotta go! Try again, they're so nice. When they've flowered shake the seeds about and you'll have masses! xx

Oh that's lovely leo, thank you very much for sharing. I used to grow them in pots and I've had some beauties (I'll try and find some pics) but I don't do gardening any more. They're all lovely but the white ones are particularly pretty. Thank you again. xx

I love foxgloves and have lots of pink ones. Keen to have other colours and spotted some beautiful yellow ones growing wild which I am wanting and waiting to collect seed.
