I picked up a mixed color 6-pack late last summer early fall. If you plant any, know that the slugs and snails love em, so be sure to use some slog-o every few weeks.
I’m super proud of this foxglove i planted from a 6 pack last fall. It’s huge! Today It measured in at 47inches!! I mean what a beast! If you look closely you’ll see auxiliary buds near the larger, more open flowers.

It rained yesterday and I felt like showing off all the hard work we've been putting into the yard over the last few years.
