Foxgloves

Hello all

I am puzzled as about a couple of months ago I bought two small foxglove plants and one large one. Planted them all, the two small ones grew quite well and blossomed but the large one gets bushier and bushier but has no central stalk and has done nothing really.

As my house is called Foxgloves(!) and the plant is at the front I am quite disappointed.

Any ideas why it hasn't grown in the usual way? I might add it looks healthy and flourishing but just not doing its foxglove thing!

Can you post a photo Snowflake? Your description has me baffled as well - unless it's not a foxglove. Are the leaves right? :confused:

Hello Snowflake, not all foxgloves flower in the first year, some are biennials so they flower the second year. Perhaps the two small ones are perennials and the larger one a biennial?

 

Ah that could well be it, thank you Celia.

John I would take a photo but have no idea how to put them on this website! I am pretty sure it is a foxglove as bought it at reputable garden centre .....
