Along the way I saw patches of foxglove and thought they were planted during the height of the Lady Bird Johnson highway beautification days. When I stopped for gas, people laughed and told me the plants had self seeded and were wild. At 8-9 feet tall I was amazed. <br /><br vermontflowerfarm@outlook.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03923885023694355932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-557907622038340443.post-43479180019553078092009-06-25T19:16:46.352-07:002009-06-25T19:16:46.352-07:00Your foxgloves are fabulous!

I plant them every year since they don't seem to grow back like they should. I let them seed but they never come back up. I end up treating them like annuals.
