I've had good luck with foxgloves. Very easy to start from seed for me,
but a bugger to thin out properly because the seeds are like dust. My only
frustration is that the showy ones are biennials and you don't get to see

A trick that you can use when sowing very fine seed. Take a small amount of
the soil and mix that with the seeds and mix well, then scatter the mixture
over your container.
Another trick is to mix the seed with a small amount of powdered sugar.
