Foxglove Digitalis - After Bloom Cut Back (4K) - June 26, 2023

Details

Description

These are transplanted from other part of the yard to the boulevard flower bed. They are all self seeded from the past. They are biannual, meaning it flowers on the second year.
The main flower stalks bloom first. Secondary/side stems bloom later than the main one. These grew to about 5 feet tall and are a bit too big for the flower bed. Not sue if I want to repeat next year. In the mean time, I cut the whole plant at ground level, leaving the part underground (instead of pulling out)
1. Not sure if I will keep them here
2. Not sure if they will bloom on the third year
In all, Foxgloves require little work. The clean up of the fairly tattered base leaves are optional.
