Not sure if its apricot beauty but this perennial foxglove seems like it needs to be cut back am I right?
You could cut it back to tidy it up ☺👍
@ublaszko thanks! Should i cut it right near the base or just trimoff the dead bits?
Certainly the dead stuff. Foxgloves have a short life, 2 years usually at the most. Frequently treated as a biennial. Has it flowered and dropped seeds? Most often that's how they spread
@lesliecole49 I think this particular variety is barren unfortunately :( Would splitting it work ot would I damage the plant do you think?
Here's a link that's probably more helpful than I am https://homeguides.sfgate.com/propagate-foxgloves-96205.html
