I collect the seeds from the foxgloves and then plant a short row in my
garden right away. They all germinate there and I transplant them later.
For some reason they don't self sow in my perennial beds, but the very same
strain of plants, (I gave them to my neighbor) self sow like crazy in her
beds. Go figure? Anyway, myway takes a bit more work, but the plants are
where I want them. Maybe it's because she uses a compost that she buys to
topdress her beds, and I use rotted hay and sheep manure to dress mine.
Mycolumbines self seed--but not the hybrids--they just die.
