Can Foxglove/Digitalis, Marigold, and Lily of the Valley survive a Midwest winter potted outside?

Foxglove is a biennial and it might come back next year- but through its seeds Marigold will not come back. Lily of the Valley is a perennial and might come back next year- depends on how long the roots are frozen for. Your best bet is planting the Lily of the Valley in the ground and the foxglove in the ground for the best chances of them coming back.

They won't survive in pots, but you could try bringing the pots inside or planting them. Lily of the Valley is very hardy.





Marigold is an annual and when it is done, it's done.
Reply:Not likely in the upper midwest. Marigold may "volunteer" from seeds next year. Digitalis and lily of the valley would probably make it if the plants were in the ground instead of in pots.
