Foxglove is starting to bloom.
Every year I let the flower stalk to make seeds and I just flick them in the garden ... they come back every year.
This year some seeds flew all the way to the back garden ... weee
OK.....I definitely want to come live in your yard drthor.
The only seeds that went crazy last year were our Blue Bonnets.
Awesome flowers! Great bluebonnet show.
Someone a golf fan at your house, morgan?
My Texas Cedar Sage is starting to bloom! Love these bright red blooms.

I got Lady in Red Sage at last year's RU and it is over 5 ft tall? I had no idea it was this big. Ive never seen a sage that big before.
Maybe you got a Red Mountain Sage?? I got one last spring and it got very tall.
Do you have Lady in Red? If so, how tall is yours?
My Lady in Red died when it got cold.
Most of mine reseeded. I got lady in red, a pinkish one and have had the "reg." kind. Most seemed to have survived our mild winter though usually they do die. I got a lot of seedlings and I ma curious to see what color they are.

Cheryl, how tall are the Ladies supposed to get?
I think mine topped out at about 2.5 feet - 3 ft.
I wonder what in the world is this that I have.
It might just really like the conditions at your place better. Take a pic of it and maybe we can figure it out. There are a lot of plants that look similar. I find that S. coccinea has a very odd smell and I don't like it. Does your plant's leaves have a strong odor?
I'll have to check. all my sages have a strong odor. And some ARE nicer than others. I'll get a photo tomorrow and do a sniff test.
Drthor, that was quite a show of color. I have heard "experts" say to treat foxglove like an annual, and to forget about seeds. I bought Camelot variety last year and it didn't come back but it is good to know it works for some people.
Those iris are stunning. Post #9064136 the purple one looks electric!
My Lady in Red grows to about 2 feet. It is possible that yours was mislabeled. I have been guilty of of trading away Raspberry Mondarda instead of Jacob Cline.Ofcourse, Maybe that Houston weather can bring out the BIG.
Thanks
I have foxgloves every year ... I just let them reseed
stephanietx - Oh yes......my DH built that golf green before anything else.
I just planted some Foxglove seeds......do they bloom the first year?
I thought the large garden foxgloves were biennials?

I seeded my foxglove in tha fall, the will grow this spring and bloom next year ... In my garden ...
