Leslie, biennials are plants that flower the second year after germination,
and then die. Foxglove seeds should start to sprout the spring after they
are dropped. Many plant seeds need a cold period before they will
germinate, although to the best of my knowledge the foxgloves are not among
them. Refrigeration is worth trying with many perennial seed varieties. It
sometimes improves the percentage of germinating plants.
