Foxgloves / Saving & Sowing Seed NOW for next year's blooms / Homegrown Garden

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ส.ค. 2021
- Foxgloves are one of my favourite native species of wildflowers and I encourage them to grow and spread as much as possible on my allotment because they are also a favourite of the bees. In this mini episode I'll chat about why they're great to grow and show you a few different ways to save the seed and why it's important to sow now for next year's blooms.

Your shaking reminded me of someone first learning to fence. Very entertaining.
Gardening should never be taken too seriously!
Very informative video, thanks a mill from Ireland.
Katrina, since discovering your channel about two years ago I've noticed your videos become better and better. I mildly chastised you back then when you made a comment about your voice. I think you encountered what we all find when we here our voice recorded for the first time. I not only enjoy your videos for the gardening hints but you are such a pleasure to listen to - a clear confident voice and a lovely smile - keep up the good work!
That was one long foxglove. I thought mine had done well. As you, foxgloves are one of my favorite if not my most favorite flower. Nice video. Have a great day or evening since you are ahead of me. I'm in NE Ohio in the U.S.
I have some English gardens with foxglove...but, still learning 🌹😁 (New Hampshire, USA)
"shake it like there's no tomorrow" haha Love it! Your foxgloves looked good enough to eat when they were blooming. Wishing i was a bee. bzzzz....(:
Yes.get them down your neck,Dont we all wish we were a bee.
Ok silly joke. Nobody please eat foxgloves or you will die.!
Thank you Miss. It is a lovely video and answered my curiosity about whether hybrid varieties produce seeds. Also I was reassured to hear you say that the seed can be simply scattered. I have been doing that in the hope that they would grow for the benefit of bees, but then fretted that I should have made more effort! Nature seems to be more successful than me at growing things sometimes! Time will tell but, given the amount of seeds I scattered, I imagine at least one will germinate!
I do grow foxgloves here in Florida. It took a few years to get them acclimated but now that they have self seeded a few years they do their thing.
I love Foxgloves (Fingerhut) too. I had several plants scattered in my 2 large flowerbeds. There are a few large plants popping up. Keeping fingers crossed that I get many blooms next spring 😊
Happy Gardening from Berlin, Germany 💚💚🌻💗🌺🌷🍀🐝🐝
Here in Shelburne, Ontario , we are in Zone 4b, and foxgloves do very well. As a kid, we called them fairy hats.
3:33 that bench-table 😍
Foxgloves are bi-annual because they grow across 2 years, germinate at the end of summer, grow in autumn, hibernate through winter, grow again in spring and flower in full throughout summer... They don't have a 2 years (730 day cycle).... Thanks for the explanation❤
Here in hot and humid East Tenn, USA, the Foxies grow really well in partial shade and SHADE. I sprinkle the seed in an outside open nursery bed in late summer and they grow into little plants all winter long; ready to be planted in any of the garden beds in the spring.
That’s good to know, cause I was wondering about if they would grow here in Virginia.
I love foxgloves. Medicinedprescribed for me as a child - digoxin- saved my life. It's made from foxgloves!
i love foxgloves lovely flower
Beautiful flowers !
So beautiful !
Love to see you again... Love the video... Stay safe...
Beautiful flowers 💐
Hi Katrina, I’ve only just come across your videos/channel and I love them! You are so passionate about your plot, I love it. Great tips, instructions and just a great calming watch. It’s great to see you are not obsessive about weeds, weeds are my nemesis!! Arghhh x
Thank you, very informative
Love you so much, love your garden skills!!! More power to you!
I love Foxgloves! I wish I had a patch of woodland for these beauties. I have been successful with Foxgloves here in the low desert of Arizona! I love having them each year in my early spring garden.
Your just so darn cheerful, i have reflected and come around to the thinking that there is definitely room for flowers the vegetable garden.
Amazing
Digitalis is one of those words that is nice to say, Digitalis :-)
i will say i really enjoyed this video, thank you for putting on yt. i want to see more.
I’ve never grown foxgloves, but you’ve convinced me to give them a try next year!
They really are beautiful 😊
That bench table, though!
Beautiful
Fox gloves are beautiful, flower over a few month.....
I've got 5 self setters of ranging from light pink to white and they are in the gap between the roadside tarmac and my house front wall..... A few people on my street are keeping eye out for seed time...
Lovely video
Hi I love your foxgloves and I see you are good at sword fencing 🤺 , thanks a good idea with the paper bag have to try that one , take care be safe 🍓🍓
What a lovely video. Upstate NY here. Foxgloves (my first) are transplanted to their garden sights and looking forward to next years show. LOVED the shaking stalk seeding method.
I adore foxgloves, lovely video. :)
Beautiful color thank fo the advice.
Great idea to flick the seed stem about the garden. My wife will find that very helpful as well as the bag method.
Grow well here in Oregon- the Pacific Northwest of the US-
Thanks for sharing the video and the great form when jousting the seeds off!
I’m in Normandy & this has been the best Foxglove spring. None in my little meadow though, so I’ll rear some from wild seeds as you demo here 👍
They're beautiful!
So is Katrina. I think she's a beauty too.
@@magoolew5131 indeed
Love your channel👍👍👍👍👍
Greetings from New Zealand,love foxgloves,grow wild here in parts of NZ,I let them naturalise in my garden
thanks for sharing useful tips
My favourite plant 👍👍💖
Always liked Foxgloves, they grow wild here too near the coast, where it's naturally wetter.
In my local bush area there is an absolutely gorgeous white foxglove with variegated leaves, I've just watched this and I'm going to don my gloves and snips and wander down and see if it's looking crispy (it's currently mid summer in New Zealand). Thanks :D
love fox gloves, grow well in Nelson New Zealand in partial shade
Started growing these in San Francisco. They love the climate here!
In my garden here in the Netherlands I have had foxgloves for the last couple of years. I think I've introduced them by sowing once directly in summer and now every year I see some coming up. This year there were only white ones, the years before mostly pink ones. Love the apricot by the way! They may have cross pollinated with your other ones, excited to see what nature makes of that mix! Gr. Debbie
Khu vườn đẹp quá
Here in Kentucky I’ve planted this spring in full sun. Purchased the whole plant from local vendor. Fingers crossed…..
We have never had much luck with D,purpea in our garden, I think it is much too hot for them, but the Woolly Foxglove, D, lanata, does very well, it is a very attractive species, and I think tolerates the hotter conditions, many thanks for posting this video it is well balanced and interesting, and of course well presented! Chris B.
Really helpful, thank you! Also, you are SO pretty!!
Great video
I live east of Berlin and am currently staring my very first garden from scratch! I already prepped my foxgloves in pots on my balcony, so I hope to have a lot of flowers from them next year! ❤️ Thank you for your videos, I find them very inspirational and like your style of gardening a lot!
I once visit your country over 35 years ago ,you have a beautiful country, 😀
Lucky you, your foxgloves are beautiful. They don’t work for me, but I can appreciate your.👍❤️😊
Very cute
I have one Fox glove that is hanging on for dear life in 100* F weather here in Southern California. It's a little crispy around the edges, but I have hope now that it will bloom next Spring...I'm just how learning about biennial flowers....patience.
omg that bench!! i need one!
I m living in Belgium.
Received fresh harvested seeds a few days ago ....I ve sown it directly around trees .
Hopefulky they wil germinate well.
Pams choice seems to me a fabulous variety.
I prefer white above pink.
But love them all ...
Its sad that they are poisonous ....as a child they looked like candy to me.
My granny warned mr several times.
Thank you granny.
Thank you for this nice video.
Greetings from Belgium.
I’ve just been looking at some unusual varieties to grow for next year! Hope yours grow well for you!
You have an awesome garden, it's a real inspiration.
I love that garden seat that unfolds into a picnic table at 3:33, never seen one before.
Any chance of a quick 'walk around' video of it please , with a couple of key dimensions , so I can make one?
Regards Paul in NZ
My foxgloves have self set already, I have about 15 baby plants!!! 🙌🏻
Yay!!
South Carolina USA here. 2024 - first year growing foxgloves.
This season fox gloves have shone for all there worth ,unlike most years fading away quickly in SE england,more of a Hollyhock person myself,a tad more elegance about them
Method number 1 ist absolutely 👍🤣😂👍👍🤗
Thank You so much. I don't grow them but I'm thinking I well . I have bees and I'll do most anything for them . I love my girls and don't charge them much rent.
I ❤ FLOXGLOVE
Your the kid of person I would love to LARP with! Love the music, my heart song💕💕👍🏼🇨🇦Calgary
You're really charming with an easy and well edited video to watch. I'm trying to find the best way to seperate my Foxgloves' stems after 3 layers of petals, many seeds were planted together, what do you recommend? Thank you.
I bought and planted 6 white dalmatians, due to self seeding i now have 14 young plants
I love the 'wild and free' foxglove beauties that I get growing in my garden every year. I have never tried collecting the seed, I have just got good at identifying different seedlings, leave enough foxgloves seedlings to develop and then transplant them to where I want them. I suppose collecting and sowing the seed might save on the weeding somewhat.
Love your channel, so lovely to feel the enthusiasm you have for the space you create and produce you grow, thank you.
My wife would love these flowers. She would love the apricot ones. i would love the blue colored ones. But i live in the states in north central texas. i wonder if they would grow well here?
I love them, but they went in to my compost bin. I got Foxgloves in every pot this year. so this year they was put under my epeltree. :)
Had no idea they were so poisonous! Thank you
Could you please do a video on how to deadhead foxgloves.
What is the best substrate for foxglove? I use a wood mulch in my flower beds
Hi from the Midlands!
Thanks for this handy little video 😃
I have a foxglove growing, it's lost some flowers and I'll leave it to go completely brown/dry before shaking seeds out but I have woodchip/bark in my beds. Can the seeds be shaken straight on top of that or will I need to rake back some of the woodchip and clear a patch for them wherever I want them to grow? Thanks in advance!
There will be more chance if you rake it back but the seeds are tiny so I’m sure they will fall through and wash down enough with the rain 🙂
@@homegrowngarden brilliant 😀 thank you for taking the time to reply!
After the seeds germinate in a container , how large of a seedling should they be before planting in the ground ? I’ve never been successful in starting my own , but hopefully after your wonderful video , I will!!
My seeds have now germinated and I’ll be pricking them out and potting into individual pots when they have they their 2nd pair of leaves (the first true leaves). I’ll plant them out probably around October time once they’re a bit bigger, more of a plug plant and able to withstand any damage from slugs, but they shouldn’t really be an issue!
They are my favorite as well, I seem to have a hard time growing them, what soil type do they like, maybe that's my problem =^\
I can't imagine having them as tall as some of yours, they are amazing. I will try try and try again.! I see someone over here in Florida grows them, I'm just up the coast in Maryland so I should be able to as well.
Yes, I have sown seeds and now have hundrends of foxgloves seedlings, looking for advice on how to overwinter them in England, they are still small, are they going to survive outdoors...? 🤔
Ok you had me laughing at the sword fight with the foxgloves, perfect music too. Hello from Canada, new subscriber and I have a question. If the seeds do not come back to the original colour (pink ones shown) then how do you get true pink ones? I just love the soft pinks and apricots. Camelot Cream is one of my favourites as it was non stop blooming here in zone 6 until snow fell. I was so surprised it kept coming up with more stalks, I let it do it's thing. I did this shake, self seeding method and I literally have hundreds of tiny plants right now under the snow. I can see them when it melts. Can I move them once all risk of frost is gone? I would love to have them everywhere. I also noticed you said not to touch them but then you didn't wear gloves. I use latex gloves when handling or pruning them because it is hard to handle with gardening gloves. Happy Gardening :)
well I did not know these die back after blooms. 🙃 I cut back all the dead growth thinking I messed up and probably threw away all the seeding branches
Hello if I cut back the foxgloves after they have flowered... Will they produce another set of flowers this year... Thank you
A couple questions....1. If i let them self seed will the seeds grow since i have the bed mulched with cedar mulch?
2. If i collect the seed and start them in a tray can i jyst transplant the seedlungs where i want and will they survive northern illinois winters?
This Spring was the first time I'd grown anything from seed, and I'm hooked! One of the flowers I started is Dalmatian Peach fox glove, a variety that blooms its first year. I ended up with 24 nice plants with beautiful peachy-pink spires. I hope they come back again next year, but if not, I'll definitely start more seeds.
I don't have any foxgloves at my allotment. I would love to have it, for the bees. I bought some seeds from garden centre previous years but none of them germinates. But l see them around here and there, perhaps the seeds quality wasn't good enough.
Could you give us an update on whether the seeds you shook actually germinated?
I have foxglove here in Michigan. One thing to note is that they don't flower the first year (up here) they are green plants on the ground, they stay green through our harsh winters. The foxglove is also known as a poisonous species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae. It is toxic to the heart.
It’s like a light saber!
lol random question, but where'd you get your pants from? they are so cute
What type of bench table set up is that?!!
I bought one from a nursery at year end sale in 2023. They bloomed in autumn and spring. They aren't finished yet, but a lot of the stems might just have seed pods. Not sure what to do. Heat wave here in Ontario Canada, July 3/24. Any advice appreciated!
Where did you get that bench from 😍😍😍
Facebook marketplace - my best freebie ever!
When I view UK content, I'm always getting new word differences with the US. Today was "secateur" for what we would call a "pruner" or "hand pruner". Lost in the Pond never covered that one. Maybe Laurance doesn't do much gardening.
Is there a way to get really tall foxgloves? I have failed to get one as tall as me since the first one.
is it possible to keep them in containers ?
Salam Petani Indonesia
I love foxglove, thanks for the tips! I need to collect some seeds.
Bom dia linda
If the hybrids can't be sown from seeds, how do the nurseries do it? There's loads of named hybrids in the garden centre, someone must have propagated them somehow! Thanks!
