Title: Foxglove seedlings
Post by: Grandma on September 02, 2007, 08:51:12
I love foxgloves so I let my (one!) plant go to seed and now have literally hundreds of little seedlings all around it. Should I just leave them as they are and hope that some survive the winter - (and the overcrowding!) - or should I pot some up and mollycoddle them a bit until the spring? I can only offer them unheated greenhouse protection. Thanks for any advice you can give.

they'll pretty much do their own thing so you could yours as well by potting up a few or replanting them elsewhere - you'll soon have hundreds  :)

They are tough plants and manage in the wild in our winters when you think about it. So they should be fine. I guess if you leave them congested you get more flowers but smaller plants.
