I was given some free off the front of a magazine packets of seeds back in the spring, I sowed a load of these but in the meantime have managed to lose the label 🙄 I had put Astrantia on one of them but the leaves certainly don’t look like astrantia! (My namesake😁)
they haven’t flowered so I’m assuming it’s something biennial? 
I’ll just keep them going anyway & see if they flower next year! But any suggestions are most welcome !! Thanks!

    That looks just like my Yellow foxglove seedlings.

    Or maybe one of the Leucanthemum

    I think it looks like the latter @Lyn.  :)
    My ox eye daisies look just like that.

    Not a good photo as the sun’s too bright,  the leaves should be very dark green, this is the foxglove.
     I think @*Astrantia* is the daisy though as the seeds were a freeby with a magazine.

    Oh - they're quite jaggy compared to most other foxgloves  @Lyn. I see what you mean   :)

    They are @Fairygirl. They’re not like ordinary foxgloves at all, they don’t have that furry bloom on the leaves.

    I've never had those @Lyn. I really only like the white ones   ;)

    I grow a lovely brown one, D.parviflora. Fairly perennial too.

    Hmmm I’m growing some regular white foxgloves from seed & they look completely different!

    Yes - the white ones have more 'conventional 'foliage, as Lyn indicated.  :)
