    They're hybrids, crossed with something tender so not very hardy RD. They won't revert. If they live long enough you might be able to split them. You'll have to buy plugs or plants, there's no seed.

    I think Verdun, in his tropical paradise, may have got some through a winter.

    Lots have died round here.



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • So if you want to make insurance policies for winter am I hearing division only. I'm a scrimper you see and worried as they seen costly but I have heard good things re their beauty!!

  • Did you source on line. Was thinking of verbascum or these foxgloves now torn! I have 2 foxgloves only and like the height element to them. 

  • Crickey I can't take 5' unfortunately. We are built up higher than neighbouring gardens so that would get thrashed by the wind. I remember you telling me about that before and my heart sank as it's pretty but just too big for me! 

  • My Veronica and I want to call it gentalis is a real low carpet type with white talk flower spikes, not the prettiest or best at looking maintained!! I do keep splitting it and giving bits away. But people dont seem to reciprocate!!
