Hi Joshua. Welcom to ATP and the addiction/obsession known as gardening. Green Grin!
I started ~ 1976 and grows tons of stuff from seed as well - 2 years ago I started over 2,000 plants in my basement.

Kudos on the Foxglove - very lovely. They can sometimes be hit or miss - looks like yours were hit. And they also can be so whacky - annual, biennial (usually), perennial. I love them and usually try to have a "tall" garden with them, hollyhocks, canterbury bells, et cetera.

On the Dahlias - I grow ~ 10 types and like the Kelvin Floodlight a lot. In 2014 I had one that turned out HUGE. Could see it from a block away and it really shined just at sundown.

And congrats on that Hibiscus - I know what it is like to wait that long. I have some Dierama and Dietes that I grew from seed 2 years ago and must over winter indoors. Hoping they bloom this year. And some Siberian Iris now in their 4th year. Growing bulbous plants from seed sometimes seems downright silly. nodding
