The propagation success I didn't expect with Foxglove

I started with one Foxglove and now have four, all from propagation. The process is straightforward once you understand scarifying or scratching the soil before sowing for seed contact — something I picked up from trial and error rather than any guide.

I display them in a wildlife pond margin planting which shows off wide seasonal succession from spring to autumn at its best. cutting back meadow areas in autumn to remove thatch is when they're most impressive. annual weed competition overwhelming slow-establishing flowers has been my main challenge across all of them, but it's manageable now that I know what to look for. A genuinely generous plant if you let it be.
