We grow both fox glove, popies, and monks hood on this side as well. FG it is a bi-ennial here in NY, re-seeds it self as the wind carries them all over. never felt my heart rush when i trimmed them back after seed dropped, but maybe that is why we like to garden. always wanted to tour english gardens and hope to do so when i retire next year. home gardens/ gardeners are an expanding theme over herw. we have something called Open Days, where home gardeners open their gardens to the public for several days. great fun and a nice bunch of people, a little eccentric, but aren't we all.
