Some years they come back thicker than others, I think it all has to do with what kind of winter I get. One thing is for sure, the gophers won't bother them.

Glad it was helpful! You are very welcome.

Sounds like a great plan!

Thank you, but I can't take credit, maybe the automated captions did that. I hope they enjoyed it!😀

The hummingbirds also love my Butterfly Bush which is not native, it is quite popular right now in the garden.

I didn't know y'all don't have any hummers! Wow. That's too bad... The things one learns thru the web is just amazing! At least you can observe them in videos tho. ❤

I am sorry you don't have HB's, they are the best! Just love them flitting around and getting in my face when their feeder is empty.

The comment before yours is a person in the UK saying the same. No hummers! I'm in the U.S. so we do have them. It's nice y'all can observe them via video tho. I also watch a few Australian channels, and I can observe the things y'all do have that we don't! ❤

Glad I could help. They seem to get better every year though you never know what colors you will get from cross pollination!

Wonderful! Yes, foxgloves are a favorite of bees. Here it is the bumblebees that are especially fond of them.

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome!

Thank you, my girls are a treasure and I love hearing them during the day as I work in my garden. The eggs are just a delicious bonus.

Our pleasure!

There are cultivars that will bloom the first season if started early. Since these got started in the summer as seeds then they will most likely bloom for me this summer. But we shall see and I will update everyone when they bloom.

Glad it was helpful!

I am so happy you found it helpful.

You are so very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

Many many thanks. I just posted a garden tour at Filoli and the foxgloves in it are to die for!

Try Swallowtail Garden Seeds, they have quite the selection!

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thanks. I'll take a look.

I think my success is there are millions of seeds so a few take root and grow on. You almost can't miss with that many seeds.

i think its because they are so small and gets away deep down or away with the water. as in the middle of this summer i was sorting foxglove seeds by an table (i handled likely millions of them) from 3 or 4 plants i think and obviously i dropped some on the ground. its actually right over or besides where the water runs from the mountain and now months later there are perhaps ten , obv foxglove plant leaves, growing right where the stones are and the water runs trough. like one meter from where i sat

You're welcome

I have not sure about ones that grow on a long dainty vine. Sorry. Maybe you are thinking of trumpet vine or the fuchsias? The flowers are shaped similarly to Foxgloves.

You can but I let mine reseed at will during the Fall, it loves the cold of winter. But if you want to save half to replant in the Spring you can do that too. Just know what falls to the ground and reseeds itself will bloom but the ones you start later usually won't bloom until the following year.

Those are Delphiniums! I have a blog post on growing them: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/how-i-grow-delphiniums/

If the seeds are ripe they should do fine if they were pollinated.

Foxgloves are biennials. The majority grow the first year and flower the second then die. But they produce so many seeds and readily reseed themselves that it is worth having them in my garden. But, here is the caveat, when I plant all white ones from seed they will cross pollinate with the other colors in the garden and rarely come back true, meaning the seedlings will not be white, they will be another color. I may get a white one here and there but mostly they will be various colors. So yes, they are a short lived plant.

If your climate is right you certainly can. Grab the book Cool Season Flowers to see how it is done. It is a great resource.

Thanks Fannie!

So are many other flowers in the garden such as delphiniums, but most people don't know about them. Here is a blog post where I address many poisonous flowers: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/is-your-flower-garden-dangerous/

It depends on the mulch. If it is a shredded bark or wood mulch you would need to scrape it back. If it is a compost mulch you can spread the seeds on top of it.

No, it isn't that they are a hybrid, it is they are open pollinated so you will get a cross of all in your garden. So I could scatter seeds from the white foxgloves and still get pink from them, the bees bring pollen from the pink foxgloves to the white one.

Yes, the seeds are good.

These are biennial Foxgloves, they reseed and sprout then hibernate for winter and then bloom the following year. I am in Zone 8a, but have a short growing season because of being in the mountains. Here is a great explanation on growing zones and what that really means: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/garden-by-zone/

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you very much for the reply 💛

Sometimes they send out side shoots and rebloom but they are much shorter. Still pretty though.

Yes you can. These are in full sun you see in this video.

In this video it was July when I collected them. But it varies according to when they bloom. I have a friend down the road a bit and hers have bloomed and already gone to seed and they are ready to collect. Mine are in early bloom right now.

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Thank you

They are only poisonous if you eat them and you would have to eat a lot for them to cause an issue. Here is a post I did on other common plants that are just as toxic if not more: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/is-your-flower-garden-dangerous/

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse Correct. It is what they make Digoxin out of.

I am in Zone 8a

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse awsome im 8 b but i go off of just 8. Im in vancouver wa. I got my fox gloves from a box store. And i dont see any seeds pods yet. We did have that heat way and im thinking it shocked the plants. The stems are all green still. Including the small itty bitty leaves

If it has seed pods on it you can collect them now.

I am in Calfornia in zone 8, but west of the rockies zones are moot and don't carry much weight here as we have such varying micro climates.

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse I'm trying to grow them in KY zone 6b. I've had luck with other late spring/early summer biennials like hollyhocks, bachelors buttons, poppies, and larkspur, but still working on getting foxglove. I'm thinking maybe my climate isn't right. I've tried sowing in spring and in fall, in sun and part shade but no luck yet. I finally just bought some and planted out this year. Fingers crossed I'll get some seedlings after these go to seed. Any suggestions?

Sorry, I couldn't translate

Can this flower grow in Indonesia?

@@Jbuck49574 I don't know as I am not familiar with your climate but these like cold winters. I suspect you have a more tropical climate and they may not grow for you.

Yes but there are many garden flowers that are toxic and it won't prevent chickens as mine eat them quite readily with no harm. I have an entire article written on my website on popular plants that are toxic: www.flowerpatchfarmhouse.com/is-your-flower-garden-dangerous/

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse I visited your awesome website but it asked for email password, hell, No!

@@FlowerPatchFarmhouse thank you, that was helpful
