I hope the foxglove self seed this Spring…
but just in case–I will start more in the greenhouse.
A little difficult to grow in zone 4, but worth the effort.

Not easy to keep going here…mine self-seeded well for a few years, then one spring, there were none!
Beautiful photo.
Our Winter is much colder this year then last, so probably will lose them…but will start some more. I found them pretty easy to germinate.
That’s why mine didn’t come back after several years. Difficult to grow. They are so lovely.
Much harsher Winter this year then last, fingers crossed!
One of my favourites, although it’s hard to pick. I had no luck with them ever coming back but just bought mature new ones every year. It was my little garden indulgence since all the other perennials did pretty well. I guess maybe they’re actually a bi-annual?
I may try leaving some in pots this Spring and Summer. Then I could store them in the greenhouse??!!
That might be a good plan and well worth the try. They’re so gorgeous. I love them in the garden. Good Luck.
THey are just so beautiful! I didn’t think of starting my own in the greenhouse…what a grand idea! We have a very friendly environment, but sometimes sowing in the soil they still get a little lost! I’m going to think about this and see what I can do. You’ve inspired thoughts of spring! 🙂
I’m thinking of leaving some in clay pots too…we will have to compare notes!
We seem to have the most luck with wave petunias re-seeding. I like this though and may try to grow some. A lot of what we grow is recused from the “stressed” plant racks at the local Lowes. We can experiement with new varieties with a highly discounted price.
Hi Joe, I didn’t know petunias would reseed? I will have to remember that! Thanks for visiting my little garden. Stacey
