foxglove / hollyhock question

Kestrel Shutters & Doors
15 years ago

Are foxglove and hollyhock plants biennial or not? I find many sites saying they are biennial and that you would "enjoy them for years".

????

Are they just implying that they reseed easily and that's why or am I just misunderstanding their use of "biennial"?

Thanks,

Jim
