| Hi all! Anyone grow foxglove? I'm having trouble figuring out if they are coming back this year. It's been a very warm winter and a few foxglove stayed semi-evergreen. The rest aren't pushing up foliage. Do you think the ones who aren't showing yet are finished? When do you all see foxglove foliage pushing up in your gardens? Thanks.

| Foxgloves are classified as biennials, for me they form a rosette of leaves the first year, bloom the second year and then, sometimes if conditions are favorable I'll get another year or two out of them, hope this helps. Annette |

| My foxgloves are also semi-green right now. I found that trimming off the worst of the leaves leaves a neater appearance, so that's what I do. And they come back just fine. And they reseed freely. I can't tell you if I have any new ones popping up, it's still a bit early here. But I'll keep my eyes open and let you know. For now, I'd neaten up the ones you do have. And wait and see on the others. |

| Thanks, Annette and fixerupper! I appreciate it. I will have to start a garden journal this year; I keep saying that I'm going to. Now I'm trying to move some shrubs around and I don't know where the perennials are! It will be nice to know where things are and when they arrive. At least if I know which plants come up around the same time, I'll know if something bit the dust. Mental note: take more pictures! |
