Pretty as a peach

I bought a set of 3 metal rusty Poppy Seed heads a few years ago at Hampton Court Flower Show.  I did some clearing our recently of the planting in the area because of pesky ground elder. Some of my new planting included these Digitalis (Foxgloves), which are a peachy colour.   With the evening light in particular, they look great with the tones of the rust on the Poppy heads.

Most Foxgloves are biennial. This means that it takes the plant two years to mature to produce flowers. Once flowered, they set their seeds, then die. So, to keep the plants for future years it's important not to remove all of the little seedlings that will grow around their base. Another idea is to cut off the flower stems, once their seeds are ripe, and carry them carefully to another area of the garden then turn upside down and sprinkle the seeds in any gaps you have.
