I have enjoyed foxgloves for the last several years, staring with a packet of seeds that grew thousands of babies! I couldn't believe that so many seeds had actually germinated out of that one little packet! It hurt to kill off so many but by the end of the first summer I had about 30 baby rosettes. The following year I just enjoyed them and didn't think about the next season. Fortunately they self seeded a few here and there through my flower beds so I had enough the next year. Last year I had several that had to be divided as they had grown 2 or 3 together. This year I noticed that my big Momma plants have started growing babies all along the stalk and I don't know quite how to divide them. I tried cutting the stalk and treating them the way I would a daylily scape....just sticking them in the ground, packing dirt around the stalk and watering them in well. Soon I will have to start a foxglove farm! If there is a better way to do this I would welcome any suggestions.
