Q Why didn’t my healthy foxgloves flower last year?

A Foxgloves are biennial, so they spend one year developing a rosette of leaves, then flower the next. They then set seed and produce seedlings the following year that develop into a rosette of leaves… and the cycle continues.

Your existing foxgloves should flower this year, but you might want to boost your collection by sowing additional foxgloves from seed as well. These will produce flowers next year and go on to alternate with your self-sown plants.
