I am growing Candy Mountain.Its bloomed this year and I understand it will reseed.

I plan to compost the entire garden but want many little Foxglove plants in spring.

Will the seeds germinate under compost?

The seeds are incredibly small, and for me come up in the most surprising places. They seem to like cleared areas like the cracks in my pavers and along the edges of the beds or in new beds or pathways with no completion. I'd save the seeds and sprinkle on top of your compost. I think your seed germination will be better.Thumb of 2013-06-23/Jewell/f4df82here is one that came up in the middle of the mossy brick barbeque area I am saving for seeds to scatter in my woodland area.

Great idea about resowing after compost.

I agree nodding Thumbs up
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
