best to sow them in late fall so they do germinate by spring. These are biennials of course so don't expect blooms in the first year. Maybe you could sow seeds for 2 seasons so as one set of blooms die off (and set seeds for the following season), you have another set that will bloom the following. This way you have succession of foxgloves year after year.

We have foxglove growing like weeds around here, but I went out and got 2 Yellow foxglove and was just looking at them and seeing how unusual the leaves are compared to the regular fox glove, so had to look it up on google and really like what I see!!! It has a stalk so looks like I'll get a bloom?!

Here is a link that might be useful:

I tried, but the rabbits or something got them as babies. A few leftovers I have in pathetic plastic cups, but they are failing to thrive much. Good luck...

In my zone, they grow like weeds too. They especially seem to like growing in gravel.

They self-sow.

calamity,
That is the species d. ambigua, more perennial than d. purpurea. Yours is beautiful! I have that one but it is a little pouty from being near a maple tree. If you like yellow foxgloves I would also recommend Primrose Carousel. Mine has been blooming all summer long and is continuing! It's a little taller than the ambigua and maybe a touch lighter in color.

Hi wonder why rabbits can eat these plants? They are toxic - the source of digitalis, a poison (which is also a heart drug).

My rabbits are nuts, I thought the same stupid thing. Maybe they were too small (3") to be toxic? The rabbits sure didn't die, they do seem a bit brain damaged...do NOT like the "cute little bunnies" at all!
