Hi all, I have some foxgloves planted in pots, most are still green and herbaceous but 1 or 2 seem to be dying back. Is that normal? is there anything I should do to look after them? I've been told on here that they are pretty hardy and will be alright just against a wall outside for winter.
Question for all of you guru. Illumination the long flowerer that doesn't produce seed. How do you multiply???? If I decided to buy how, seed, plugs?? I'm confused. Do they revert to normal foxglove in second year as someone at work said they will. What are people's opinions??

Camelot f1 mixed and label says comes back every year.
Patsy - my farther has been looking for apricot ones for ages!!!! And they were free, how could I have missed that!!
D. grandiflora and anything crossed with that should be good for perennialness (is that a word?)

What are your foxgloves Thomas? Did they flower this year?
Ordinary foxgloves are more or less biennial, they flower once and then they seed and die. A few linger on for another year in a half hearted way
They are hardy.

They should flower as the warmer weather arrives
