Hmmm. We live up the road from you in ashland, Oregon (Southern Oregon) and I thought I found the best plants to foil all the deer in our area (we live in the city…four blocks off main street). Well, guess what? Deer will eat the foxglove here….i caught them. ugh. i found another plant for a sunny area that ‘our’ deer won’t touch…wallflower or erysimum. comes in lavender, orange, yellow, mauve. it must be a semi-perennial like foxglove since it grows in quite a large mound for 3-4 years and then it dies out.

The purple, returning foxlove is called digitalis X Mertonensis. It is the “Perrenial”FORM. I say perennial but my EXPERIENCE with them has been as a HALF-HARDY annual. It is a tetraploid hybrid.

I planted a couple of dozen Foxglove for our first grandbabies garden baby shower planned in five weeks. Two days of 100-degree temps played havoc with several plants, and I noticed a handful had keeled over and fainted. I am anxious to hear about your discovery and how you plan to resolve it? I was thrilled not to have to plant in baskets as Foxglove are “normally” gopher-resistant, and the moles only burrow around roots “normally,” not eating the roots. Standing by.

Thank you for this very helpful info. I love foxgloves but have only tried growing them once. I will try again! Have you had the most success with Potted plants or seeds?
