That is good going!

I wish that my Mediterranean Digitalis were that quick to bloom!

 

im constantly weekilling foxgloves. I hate the things and they wont stay out of my garden.

 

I know what you mean as regards Digitalis purpurea, although once your eye is in they're easily spotted and pulled (easily confused with Primula maybe, but I pull all those too!).

There are some seriously garden worthy Digitalis though - take a look here. If you're interested I have plenty of seed for D.parviflora and D.lutea.

 

wow some of those look really nice. ill have some seeds if you have any colours other than pink and white.

 

Photos of D.parviflora (reliably hardy) and D.lutea (untested hardiness wise as the first year) are here. PM me an address if they interest you. I also have seed for D. x mertonensis (Hairy Foxglove) which is in the same post.
