Foxglove illumination pink
My foxglove illumination pink plants are growing apace over this winter. I have high hopes they will be large by the time I plant them out in the garden in the spring. I have potted on twice....second time today....and they seem eager to grow vigorously. Have others found these plants to be so vigorous?

I think it's to late now, but encourage new growth of it by cutting flowering stems down to the ground. Flowers usually appear late springthrough the summer.Best luck, ThaiGer
...you a lucky man...many pot-plants we have to plant out, after every season change (Oct.and June) we give them wormtea in the first 3 years, it's realy a good alternative to "normal" invigoration of flower plants...greetings, ThaiGer.
I like growing fox-gloves and might try a perennial type this year,I love to see them in a group in a border.
Yes, you are correct. They are a new cross. I have just the other day ordered some from the Gardeners' World Magazine. There was a special offer, which finishes at the end of this month (Jan). Wish I had ordered them a bit earlier though. I suppose the only thing to be careful of, is not to pull them out when they finish, if they are anywhere near ordinary foxgloves. Maybe need to put a label on them. June
