Foxgloves
Asked on 10 Sep, 2007
I have grown some foxgloves from seed, sowed them in april of this year and they are now a decent size. Can I plant them out in my garden now? and will they flower next year. Or should I leave them in pots and plant out next spring?

I have just read that biennials should be planted out about now in their final positions, so that they have enough time for development before winter. I have grown lots of teasels from seed this year and planted them out just yesterday.

Hi David, I have also managed to grow some teasels from seed, where in your garden have you planted them, I think they grow very tall.

Plant them now so that they can develop a good crown ready for flowering. Yes - they will flower next year

They are biennial and will flower next year, the bumble bees will love you as they flower over a long period open from the lower bells upwards over several weeks. If you don't deadhead they make a mass of seedlings.ready for the next year.
