Foxgloves are growing wild around Seattle and I grew up knowing their name and seeing them in all the abandoned fields and old gravel roads when we\u2019d venture on walks or drives.

I have grown that and hybrids of it in the garden here for years, including the quick-blooming \u201cFoxy\u201d strain, and a mix that I recently got from Chiltern\u2019s in England. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I put some seedlings from the Chiltern\u2019s mix in the memory garden last year. They didn\u2019t bloom fully, as I think they were too young, but they will bloom big in 2021. I hope they don\u2019t block any of the flowering bulbs that are planted underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
