Leave the seed pods on them and let them ripen until they split open ... you can scatter the seeds around and you'll get lots more ... the first year they just form little plants ... the second year they have the flowers

Yes, the foxglove will flower in it's second year and maybe die, sometimes they will flower again the next year, but short lived. The aquelligia is a perennial it will last for a lot of years, will die down in autumn, but will come back next spring and will get a lot of colours.
They were growing up through brickwork at our new flat, so I have replanted them. Any ideas what they are?
