I've got 'em everywhere. Do I thin them and pot them up or just let them go and see how many plants make it through the winter? I'm in zone 8--mild and wet winters.

Hi Sweetlebee
I think that what to do depends on what's the result you want.
Foxgloves are very beautiful, but you're having too much. Perhaps next spring you could make a patch of foxgloves some place in your garden. They are useful to separate one area from another, also to put on in a corner. You can pick up the seeds and trade them.
Did I help?
Bye bye

Is this what I think it is, Sweetle?

Yes, I think so! My white ones are just coming up too! They are scalloped. My dwarf foxglove plants are about 6 inches tall. I'm going to have a nice stand of them next summer!

I have gotten two foxglove plants to be put out. I sure do hope they will reseed. Have never had them before. Linda B

My foxgloves bloomed. They are forget-me-nots!!

I had a beautiful lavender dwarf foxglove, which has fuzzy leaves that look just like the forget-me-not. Since it was my first year growing both, I thought it was foxgloves seedlings and would have preferred foxgloves! I gave away all my seed too. Hopefully one made it.

No, I don't think so. It doesn't look like mine. Maybe a black-eyed Susan or cone flower?

But yours were forget-me-nots!!!

It isn't coneflower and I didn't plant anything but the foxglove seeds there. Are they weeds then?
