After the bloom stalk was finished, cut it back to a couple of inches from the ground. Generally, foxgloves will produce secondary spikes from the base of the plant.
How do i cut flowers like snapdragons and foxgloves? Will they keep growing back?
GREAT FLOWERS!...Yes, they will keep blooming. Both my foxgloves and snapdragons flower from mid-spring to end of fall. (living in Ky.) They are both also very easy to cut/deadhead. All you have to do for deadheading is once the flowering stem has bloomed and the bottom 2/3 of the stalk has lost its flowers, cut the stem completely off at about 1/2" above the first set of leaves. Do the same for cut flowers, but do it at the beginning of the bloom time instead of the end. Both flowers will continue to grow new flower shoots from the sides....Enjoy!
