First flower bud or yet more leaves to open on my 3ft high foxglove? Is it ok to trim done leaves off when it eventually flowers? #advice #foxglove #patience #foliagefriday

I take off all the bottom leaves that look scraggly/dead whenever it's growing, I don't wait for the flowers 😀👍🏼😀

Ooh ok 👍 Do you think I have a flower bud or more leaves(cos there just aren't enough leaves 😂) @sieveheadsarah

@Denise16 @sieveheadsarah ooh I think I need to do the same to my foxgloves as some of them look v untidy! 👍🏼

Could be flower buds Denise, fingers crossed its not more leaves 😂😂

When does the foxflove flower appear, will it be a long stem shooting up in the middle? #eager

Look at other #foxglove tags and pictures, Sweetie! 🤗 But I want to say yes.... 😚

Looks like there will be more than one shoot as there are two rosettes that I can see. They flower from the beginning of June in the North East 😄

Ooh 2 would be fab, its 2 years on so it's about time! @ublaszko

It will definitely flower this year 😄 I usually buy young foxglove plants from Wilko as they're only about £3 and they flower the same year and I don't really have space for growing on biennials. Funnily enough, the foxgloves I bought last year grew new leaves after I cut the stems back so I've kept them to see if I will get another hurrah before they're done. 😄

Oh I bet you will do😊 I do have 2 of these at the same stage so expecting great things to happen 🌸🌸 @ublaszko

I'm definitely going to buy another one this year as I love foxgloves. Last year I had white one and it was fabulous! I quite fancy peach one this year. 😍

More #foxgloves 🤗 these ones are taller than me, not that that's hard to beat, I'm a shorty 😂 #oxeyedaisy
Wow! They are tall! I thought I had a tall one that was as high as my shoulder but yours beat it! 😂
It must be about 6ft! @bluefox23
