Hi @Lyn, they are the ones l was hoping to get seeds from! They have put on a lovely show, but are going over now. So you reckon that they won't come true from saved seed? l had better head off to the garden cenre!
@AnniD. I have sow and planted out from them but until next year I won’t know if they come true, I’ve had some this year that may have self seeded that did come true. Will have to wait and hope they do. I have to say that the green certainly looks like them, very dark and dense foliage. Apart from that, I can’t help you😀
@Mary370. It’s very easy to grow from seeds and comes up every year, it took a real pounding under snow and ice this year but it’s up again now.

@Lyn , is it achillea ptarmica (The Pearl Group) 'The Pearl' or something like? I'm noticing my pollinators aren't much interested. Which is disappointing for me.
I don’t know Fire, someone gave me the seeds, I’ll look out next time I go down there. It’s one of my wildlife areas (that’s what I call bits I haven’t got round to taming) but I will look.

I love them all, but not when they take liberties. if you want to grow a really special one, short stocky very strong plant, try Summer King. They feel and look like velvet. They have self seeded and come true but I don’t think they will next year.
I think I may have this, it's quite short as far as foxgloves go.
Flowering much better than two of the tall camelot varieties I have. I bought a couple of the dalmatian plants which are only meant to get to about 50cm, hopefully they turn out nicely.
I’ve grown the Dalmatian from seeds, they’re about 6’ + tall.
@Fire. Just looked, this little critter seems to like it!.
Having looked at the last photo,they don’t look the same flower, wonder if they’ve reverted to the big standard ones? Mustlook later in the year, they’re only just flowering now.
