Re: Foxglove
Hello Dot & Jean,
Looks as though you have already received plenty of good information on
cultivation on the foxgloves.
One point I think needs mentioning is that not all foxgloves are bi-annuals.
There are at least 4 or 5 reliably perennial species that do well. Try Digitalis
ambigua and its cultivars, D. lanata, D. lutea, and the hybrid X Merton's (which
comes true from seed).
