My cardinalis seem to be growing very slowly I have grown them from seeds and while all my other plants are quite large my cardinalis seem to be growing very slowly. I am just wandering if anyone else has grown them from seed.

I found a foxglove called polkadot pippa which is similar in colour to the illumation pink, supposedly perrenial and is sterile. I bought a large one for £2 at my local nursery. Anyone ever grown one the follage is different to a normal foxglove.

The one on the right is the polkadot variety
