Common foxgloves are biennial plants, which means that unlike perennials, which come back each year, and annuals, which last only a single season, the plant takes two years to fully flower before finishing its life cycle.

Do foxgloves come back year after year?

Foxgloves are either biennial, producing a rosette of foliage in the first year followed by flowers in the second, or perennial, flowering every year. For structure they’re ideal.

How many years do foxgloves last?

Most foxgloves, including ancient species and modern hybrids, are perennials, whose lifespan varies according to the growing conditions but is usually three to five years.
