My Experience with Foxglove! 😍💚🌿 // Garden Answer 

Hit 👍 as soon as I saw Foxgloves!!! Because our last name is Fox my Dad always made sure to plant many of them every year!!! In fact, he would collect the seeds from the dried seed pods each year (from those he didnt let just reseed for the next year). He would then keep his pockets full of them & when we were out walking - or somewhere - he didn't think was "enough color" he would then throw handfuls out. Sometimes probably in places he probably wasn't supposed too!😬🤫😉😅 I love my Dad & miss him so much! He was such a great man. Much of the reason I love gardening I inherited from him!!!😊💙💐

I keep waiting for conversation about peeling off the babies at the base that form off the MOTHER STALK.........I do that often and dip them in root stimulator and replant those with really good dirt.

I know this sounds weird for some but growing from seed to mature plant is a window into the miracle of life, I feel like I am honoring Gods creations😊

It would be so so helpful to have a video showing how we can collect seeds from some of our flowering plants!

The white wands Veronica with the Dalmatian peach foxgloves!! Gorgeous!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌

When my seeds sprout & begin their life, It always brings the scripture to mind..that we sow, water, feed & care for each one, but God gives the increase.♥️Of course its talking about sowing seed in ♥️ of people & disciplining them , but I love seeing how God shows us through these beautiful examples, that He is with us.🙂🤗

A quote from Fern Gully..."All the magic of creation exists in a single tiny seed!"

Oh! The morning dove at the 3:49 mark!! Laura, I had what I thought was a massive amount of weeds in my iris garden last year... I left them out of shear neglect, and all of them were blooming foxgloves this year, a gorgeous creamy white! Thank squirrels! I didn’t plant them 🥰👍🏼

that apricot, peachy color is so pretty. they look perfect there.

Foxglove were the first plants I winter sowed and I had great success! They are the best for beginners!

And you are right! About it’s a great feeling to start from seeds! I grew Hollyhocks from & germinated! And when I seen my first flower! I just looked up and said Thank you! 💙🙏

I love the victorian vibe of Foxgloves.

3:48 a Pidgeon just flew in and landed on the pineapple! (Grin) AND just before you warned about toxicity of the plants, Russell wandered behind you. LOL You explanation was spot on. I grew foxglove for many years. They have all gone now, but I have fond memories of the bees and hummingbirds flocking to them. Thanks for sharing and giving me a laugh. Stay safe.

I can't tell you how informative and joyful your channel has been for me these last few months since I found it. I teach, I wife, I mother, I write, and I garden, and sometimes I feel that I couldn't do any of those important things well without the gardening. You have inspired many new projects in my backyard landscaping that bring me so much daily happiness. Thank you!!

I'm so glad you did a video on Foxglove. I have admire these in my neighbors yard for about the past 5 yrs. Last year she asked if I wanted some small baby plants before the frost got them. I brought them inside and planted them in a nice size pot and kept them over winter and planted them outside come Spring. They are doing so good, can't wait to see what color I got from her, she has two different colors. Also went to the nursery and bought a beautiful purple color. I raise honeybees and have been told they are Great for pollinators.

I started foxgloves this year from seed as well and had around 50 plants that I transplanted into the garden! Just amazing! You are right, you are more connected when you start from seed and there is such joy you get from the plants. Sometimes I’ll grow a snap dragon color I do not like, but I still marvel at the fact that I grew it. Keep going! Enjoying watching your adventure!

Foxgloves and Glads are among my favorites.

I love your videos when you talk about a certain flowering plant or vegetable on their care. I have had a few hydrangea plants that have not bloomed or only had a couple flowers on them. After watching how to prune them and fertilizing them now my plants are loaded with flowers. I also did not know to cut back some of my perennials to get a second bloom. Keep coming with those videos.

The foxglove leaves alone are very pretty . I grow many from seed !

I would love to see a tour of what is blooming in your garden. I love the layering and flower contrast that I could see in that video.

I hope you see that dove at 3:48! All I thought about was the butterfly out of the mail 🤣 I love your videos so inspirational and informative.

It IS such a great feeling to grow from seed. I agree...proud...so connected to the plant! I think foxglove is on the menu for next year! Thanks, Laura!

Coffee with Laura and good plant facts to hear. We have foxglove that grow wild on the back of one of our playgrounds and people always say we have to pull them out but the children don't mess with them. They are such a beautiful flower I love seeing all the varieties!

Your ‘Dalmatian Peach’ foxgloves are some beautiful. For whatever reason I didn’t have good luck with them this year but I’ll go back to them again because they’ve always done so well for me. Good to point out the toxicity because a lot of people are concerned about that but honestly there are far more plants we grow in the garden that are toxic to humans or animals than there are non-toxic plants.

I started Celosia from seed this year too and they are very sad looking. I really like the idea of an entire vlog centered around the care and growing tips of a specific plant. I would love to see more of these type of videos Laura!

I’m totally in the peaches this year. The just look like they’re glowing .

Hi Laura! I just really want you to know how inspiring you are to me. I am currently going through IVF after my husband went through chemo and you have brought such INSPIRATION and JOY to my life. With all that is going on it has been very stressful. I never knew that I enjoyed gardening. It all started with watching your lemon tree video and enjoying it so much I watched so many more from there. Now I know how to take care of all of my perennials that were already at our house and have SO many plans for our yard in the future. Would LOVE to add these to our garden. Would these work in containers? We have a dog that chases squirrels and I would be afraid shed plow these over!

When I first married I attempted to grow Foxgloves & I got very frustrated! I wanted them to come back every year! Now I am more experienced & have learned a lot through the years! I need to try them again! Thank you for my on going learning on gardening!! 🌞🌺🌿😊👍🌱🌸

15:50 - WAS THAT THE CAT'S TAIL barely seen moving behind the Veronica (which is amazing!)? Doves, butterflies, cats, flowers & plants. What a beautiful, magical place You and Aaron have created!

Dear Laura, You always make my day when I watch your videos. You inspire me to plant pretty flowers. I enjoy seeing you and your mom interact and spend the day together. I notice you both have the same type of laugh... Thank you! Adrianne

Your Foxgloves are gorgeous. Now, my Dalmation Peach did not bloom the first year but that is my garden, They bloomed this year. To try to ensure I get blooms next year I will steal seeds from the bottom of the spike (from the first blossoms), start them indoors then move them out before frost, I will also shake the stalks after blooming to ensure dispersal. Thank you for your videos, I look forward to them every day. You are a part of my morning routine.

Laura your superpower is growing an absolutely amazing garden! 👏

I wanted to take a walk in your garden so badly while watching this🌸🌱 I’m inspired to to try seeds this winter inside💚

Love all your info & inspiration. And I grew up like you. We knew to stay away from the yucky plants yet crunch away on the neighbor's rhubarb stalks while playing hide n seek. This is my first year to grow coleus from seed; I feel so proud of myself! Happy gardening Laura!

Beautiful foxglove! ❤️❤️. I have enjoyed every one of your videos! During these difficult times, I find myself watching them over and over. I had Christmas in July with you just this past weekend. Watched all having anything Christmas in them. ❤️🎅🏼🎄. Lol, not that I want to push the season along at all, your videos just bring me a feeling of peace.

I have grown fox gloves for years❤️❤️❤️you will be shocked at how many seeds are in just one of the seed pods THOUSANDS!!!!’ I don’t understand how flower companies can justify selling one packet of seeds for 3 to 4 dollars a pack😡😡😡😡😡 l guess l am a millionaire and just don’t know it lol😂😂😂😂😂

You’re the best plant narrator ,,, I love watching your videos I feel like your talking to me directly.., like a one on one conversation, thanks

Yes, planting from seed makes you have a sense of accomplishment and it feels good. Gardening is really addictive:)

Totally agree about starting things from seeds. Isn't it inspiring!?!

The colors in that area are beautiful. I will try this foxglovefoxglove-I have the perfect spot. I loved seeing the bird flying to the fountain!

Thank you for sharing your experience with foxgloves. They’re gorgeous!

This year my foxgloves performed well in upwards to 100 degrees in zone 9. They do love water. They are beautiful!! People always walk through my neighborhood to view my garden and the foxgloves steal the show! 🤩

Foxglove has always been one of my fav flowers but I've only just started growing it (from seedling). Such a timely video for me! So good as always 💖💖💖

Laura your gardens are so incredible. You so inspire me. Your channel is a blessing. Thank you!

Beautiful. I got conned at the greenhouse with a blooming foxglove and thankfully it spread seed. Great spring surprise 😊

I use to be obsessed with makeup videos on RU-vid.....now I am obsessed with the plants because of you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. 🌸🌸🌸🌺🌺🌺

I agree, you win some you lose some, and you are always learning, and growing from seed, amazing feeling.

You should be proud, for starting these from seed and...everything else you do!

THANKS SO MUCH I JUST GOT MINE IN THE GROUND FROM STARTS , FLOWERING ALREADY. CANT WAIT

Loved your foxglove video. I am trying to grow from seeds for the first time. I am quite excited about it.

I love a cottage style garden. Beautiful!

I feel the same way when I have started by seed and watch it grow to this beautiful plant!:) I love the flower bed behind you! It's gorgeous!!!

I LOVE how you answer the toxic question. You have such grace when i kinda feel deep down what you may want to say lol or at least i would want to say but probably never do. All kids are different when it comes to this kind of stuff though. I had my 1st two 15 months apart and those two got into NOTHING. They were easy. Then 8 yrs later I thought oh i want to have 1 more and ohhhhhh boyyyyyy that girl still hasn't stopped getting into trouble 16 yrs later. I love how you explained educating Benjaman. These day kids are too protected in some ways and left alone in other ways and it really is creating a huge mess. I heard a joke on Dry Bar Comedy about kids and how they are treated like glass. He almost got a ticket cause he didn't have a shade on his back window for his grandchild. He was floored. He said we didn't have sunscreen when i was a kid...u know what we used....DIRT. We played in dirt and had it all over our faces from eating it. no room for sunburn lol. Sorry i rambled as usual. Lonely person I am. I love those foxgloves but ever since i saw the veronica (i think) i was mesmerized. It is like they are glowing. Perfect for a moon garde i think. And of course i caught that tail go by. He truly photo bombs every video i love it.

A bsolutley love foxgloves! I too have neber had an issue with my animals eatting them. I grew them all along our front porch when we lived in North Carolina and they came back faithfully every year. Now I live in Pennsylvania and really need to plant them here so I can enjoy their beauty again. Thank you for the great tips on them!

Laura this was a fabulous video! I learned so much about foxgloves- thank you!

I had foxglove pop up out of nowhere this year! After watching your success with starting them from seed I’m going to collect some seed and give it a try for next year😊

So pretty... it looks like they would ‘ring like a bell’ in the wind🧡

Laura, I love these, the colour is gorgeous! Could you do a video at the end of the season where you gather seeds in your garden and show us how to do that? Thanks!

Nice looking foxgloves I will definitely plant 🌱 sum next year......thanks for the info 💚💚

Any time you grow any plant you are being a good Stewart of this planet. It's noble. Or ok, super-human!

The color on these foxgloves is spectacular! Until this year they haven't been a favorite for me but you've changed my mind.

I feel like I share your pride. As if I grew them. I watched you plant and re pot and now to see them so amazingly beautiful💕💕

Laura, you can call the Dalmatian Pink variety 'Russell Pink'. He seems to be loving them and appeared the moment you bent a little and talked about them 😊

Hi! Just an info about the ones that bloom the first year, there's the "Foxy" foxgloves that will work just as fine. I think that in general, the shorter 3 feet varieties do the trick.

I saw this video last summer and decided that THAT was a most have flower! I’ve never really thought foxglove was something special, never grew them or bought them. So this spring I got hold of 15 seeds (really expensive) and gosh what I’ve enjoyed them! 😍 I’ve harvested seeds like crazy because I move 1 October and have the opportunity to have a nice big garden that’s a clean slate, I can decide and make all flowerbeds just as I like them. And your flower beds around the chicken coop is my inspiration! So many good ideas I’ve got from them that I’ll replicate and add things I like. So thank you for sharing all your expertise and positive energy. I think all of us followers get out right after seeing your videos and planning in our own garden!

You and Sophie Ellis-Bextor are what get me through lockdown. Love your videos and the inspiration x

Oh, so lovely. Maybe I'll give them another try. Maybe even grow them from seed. 'Bells of Ireland' would pair nicely with foxglove.

I live in the Pacific Northwest. We naturally get both fuchsia and white foxgloves. What I like to do is shake them (for seeds distribution) and then bend/break the center stalk over before fall/winter clean up.

Growing a plant or flower from seed.. kinda like the miracle of growing a baby. Such an amazing accomplishment with both 😌

I LOVE that Dalmation Peach foxglove. They look beautiful. I bought two foxglove plants from Lowes this year. But you have motivated me to try these from seed next year. And thanks for the tip about the Floret website. Will check it out. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks.

One of my very favourite flowers. They grow so well here in Melbourne Australia. Thank you so much for this video.

Incomparably beautiful. I’m in zone 9 but you’ve inspired me to grow them off to plant in pots reserved for bulbs and annuals at our sunny front door. Can’t wait! Thank you for all the detailed info.

Never a failure, always a learning experience!

Don't grow from seeds but want to make a comment on staking. I have tall delphiniums '72 inch' and stake them with green colored bamboo stakes. You can get packs of them at your local garden center. They don't show so your plants are upright and beautiful.

I did winter sowing with Foxglove and so much success

Great job explaining the stats of this beautiful flower

I couldn't decide between hollyhock and foxglove this year and ended up going with hollyhock. Definitely finding a spot for some foxglove next year! Gorgeous!

Oh Laura, that spot in the garden is so beautiful. The different colors and heights are amazing. Thanks for sharing. I've never tried to grow Foxglove. Looking at yours, sure makes me want to try. Again, thank you so much for all your knowledge you share with us. I've learned alot.

Growing from seed, give you the vibe of a proud parent...I I've it..just need to be patient and I love it

So beautiful! Can you show how you harvest the seed later on? Do you avoid raking and remulching the areas with foxgloves so that the seeds can germinate the following year or do they just wind up making their way back to the top? I know you said they require light to germinate. Also thanks so much for the seed starting video you did about these. I used the premoistened soil tip and my seedlings came up days earlier. Could always be luck but the more appropriate moisture levels are getting the credit. 😉

Thank you! I had all these questions and now I've ordered foxglove seed (Dalmatian cream) for next season! 😁

I started celosia a couple of weeks ago in a pot on my deck and the plants are ready to set out in the garden.

Those are absolutely stunning Laura!! I always wondered about these beauties. Thanks for sharing such great info. Your so right, everyone's growing experience is going to be different, even though it's the same plant. Growing it yourself and paying close attention to how it grows, really helps you to get the hang of things quickly. Have an amazing day Laura! Thanks for all you do! 💕

so cute! I really enjoyed listening to you,

"I don't know everything there is to know about Foxgloves, but I've had really good luck with them." Laura, you have really good luck with pretty much everything in the garden. 🤣

Your color selections are really rubbing off on me! Love this color!

Thank you for sharing all of the info on foxglove, yours are beautiful

Laura, I planted foxglove for the first time too! I feel so excited also! I’m not sure which variety right now, but they are a light, bluish-purple. It’s awesome to know that we connect on the excitement level of “I grew that!” I can’t wait to have them re-seed and to have more. Thanks for this informational video. It really helped!

Great information! Thank you so much. I was inspired by a lot of your plants and wanting to try out now. And yes, growing from seed has a particularly good feeling

This year I planted the most plants ever! Can't wait for next year because those foxgloves are a definite!!!

Hi Laura!! Those are really pretty flowers! You did a great job growing them from seed Congrats! I wish I had the room, and garden area, to do something like that. Than you for sharing!

I've binged watched this channel for the past few days and I just want to say thank you for sharing your beautiful garden with us and also your incredible knowledge and passion for plants. This is my new favourite channel.

Gradation of color is so beautiful

I just bought foxglove seeds!! Cant believe the wait time to see them bloom!!

Gorgeous. I’m always pulling the wild ones. These shorter ones are definitely on my list next year. Thankyou.

They are so pretty and you have inspired me enough to try and grow some foxgloves from seeds this winter.

we grew up next to lake michigan and were taught to have a a healthy respect for it. And we were taught about the woods and what was safe and what wasn't. I found that with plants for my kids as well.

Just beautiful, I'm glad you answered my question about the animals. My fur babies are all although my area they dont destroy anything but rub against my flower, and smelling them lol. But those are just so beautiful.

I'm so intimate when I look at them that I can't grow them from seeds but listening to your encouragement I'm gonna give it a try. Like you said I'll fail miserably or succeed. Nothing to loose.

I am not an entry level gardener - I know enough to get by fairly well - but I always learn something from Laura and Garden Answers. I want to put in foxgloves next year and this was very helpful.
