Jeff---I have to say that i have also seen that. maybe in the bigger, older plants?
So--there must be some that do last all year---or maybe all of them.
You know--I am an old geezer--and often don't remember what is--was--or may be.

It is SO amazing how fast the new Foxgloves can grow in the spring!
BAM! and they are 2' or 3' tall with a bloom spike.

One thing--you MUST stake them--as the bloom stalks are heavy with the blooms
and in heavy rain they just flop over.

Here is a picture of a clump in April of 2-10. Obviously--that had to be already there
to grow this big by April.
