In this dry, sunny patch, only native digitalis has ever grown, but this year very petite, slim ones have appeared, and I don't what they are - can anyone identify them? They're about 50cm tall now.
They do look sweet, but they're not as lush as most this time of year. They pop up all over my garden. I leave some, I pull some out.
I've got some very similar looking ones that are growing in some rubble by a fence. It's a lack of water and food that causes them to grow like that. Others in the borders are big plants with big leaves and just coming into flower.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
We grow native foxgloves and we have some over six foot this year but others that are similar to yours. For us it depends on when they germinated, how rich the soil is and congestion, as to how big they get.
