I would let them grow another year. Next year, I would dig it up and see if the different rosettes could be pried apart to be replanted.

well, they are notoriously shortlived and evolutionary adapted to spreading by seeds, so rather check their surroundings, scratch away any existing woody mulch and moderately feed and water it, they are probably not made for dividing and transplanting

Thank you all for your advice! I think I’ll leave them this year as I don’t want to risk losing any potential flowers - I love them so much! I wonder if the flower stalks will be smaller this year. In the fall I’ll try splitting a couple of the clusters and seeing what happens. I will continue to hunt for some seedlings! I had about 7 or so flower stalks last year and it does seem odd that I don’t see a single seedling! Hopefully some will sprout soon.

I wanted to update you all - the foxglove did in fact multiply in their third year and I will have flowers again! I had no idea they would do this as there isn’t much written online about this. I hope the flowers are large - I will update when they bloom! Also, do these look like foxglove seedlings? I was about to weed them out but thought they might just be what I hoped for?!!

Not all, but most, of those are indeed Foxgloves.

They may revert to a more natural bloom than the Excelsiors. Personally, I prefer the looser more elegant wild version.

You can tell if any will be white by looking at the petioles and leaf veins. They're reddish in the purple bloomers, pale green in the whites.

I love the more wild foxgloves as well so I am very happy to hear this!! I did end up with far more than I had hoped for… I have been trying to garden with less mulch and use just a thin layer for color but not sure if I can keep it up as so many weeds and unidentifiable seedlings are popping up everywhere!

Do you have advice on the best time to transplant the seedlings? They are so small and delicate now so I thought I should wait until they get a but bigger?

Small is good, providing you can keep them well watered. Less root disturbance.

I had an overload of volunteer foxglove plants last year…. they didn’t seem to mind being transplanted, whether they were small seedlings or full size plants in bloom.

Some of my favorite pics from last year — this is why I love cold composting. :)

What beautiful flowers party_music50! I am so excited!!!

I have lots and move them to spots that I haven't decided what to plant yet. It covers the ground and is free.

@dm pnw WOW 😍 that s going to be gorgeous in a few weeks!!
