Guess a Texas garden is a better environment for them; isn't that where they come from originally, as are the Echinacea, another flower I love but doesn't want to grow in our garden. I have had one in a pot now for several years, maybe I should try that with Monarda as well.<br />Marianflowersandhomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02262453899981838266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-90703388290132805882014-06-03T09:36:55.303-07:002014-06-03T09:36:55.303-07:00I know how you've been pining for foxgloves, s...I know how you've been pining for foxgloves, so I'm glad you've found a way.

Peter's Purple is quite a celebrity in Central Texas spaces this year. The Monarda I have are the older natives and while the blooms are not as showy, they're at least keeping the other older natives around here TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3636445408720805216.post-7941238307207363702014-06-03T04:24:01.666-07:002014-06-03T04:24:01.666-07:00They are yummy but also they have stopped setting ...They are yummy but also they have stopped setting fruit because the nights are too hot.

Blasted by unexpected heat here this spring, my Digitalis purpurea either died or delivered stunted blooms - maybe I'll have to try potting them next year as well, although the Digitalis x mertonensis came through the heat well (unless you count an attack by aphids).
