Default Digitalis question

"Kai_63" wrote


I bought some container grown digitalis about a month ago and planted
them out. They were around 30cm tall with a few leaves but no other
growth. No they've started to flower. I'm a bit confused because I
thought they didn't flower this late into the year. Can anyone advise if
I should leave them to grow or do I need to take some other action to
ensure they show flowers again next year?


You need to find out which species it is. The normal ones are bi-annual and
once flowered die and there is nothing you can do to stop it.
