      That is good going!

      I wish that my Mediterranean Digitalis were that quick to bloom!

      I know what you mean as regards Digitalis purpurea, although once your eye is in they're easily spotted and pulled (easily confused with Primula maybe, but I pull all those too!).

      There are some seriously garden worthy Digitalis though - take a look here. If you're interested I have plenty of seed for D.parviflora and D.lutea.

      Photos of D.parviflora (reliably hardy) and D.lutea (untested hardiness wise as the first year) are here. PM me an address if they interest you. I also have seed for D. x mertonensis (Hairy Foxglove) which is in the same post.
