        oh yes i see what you mean..lol so you know the pods that are brown and dead looking ..if you open them up and then scatter the seeds do the new plants come from them ?..if you view my first picture and zoom in you can see some brown pods..

              the foxglove seeds you can sprinkle around the garden now , you need to make a photo album on here and add the names as you go along so you can look back , I do the same with all my daylilys other wise so easily to forget the name especially if its a named variety

                The white ones especially seed around, you can save some pods but scatter others to see if they will do the job by themselves. Remember what the leaves look like so you don't pull them up in the spring thinking they are weeds.
