If you cut down the flower spike, you might well get a couple of smaller ones developing.
Or leave it to set seed if you'd like to grow more.
I just leave the seed to develop and ripen, and then when the pods are beginning to open I cut the stem off and swish it around the garden where I want more foxgloves. Then when the seedlings appear I thin them out and transplant some and then leave them to it. Simple
