3 - 4 foot is our limit here, have you fed your foxgloves with Miracle Grow or similar? We don't feed ours nor do we water them - they have to do their own thing to survive here.
Mines still growing a bit so I might get another inch or two. Still it's just as likely to get flattened in the constant rain. I grew it from seed last year and during that warm summer I Miracle Growed everything at least once a week. I've only had suitable weather to feed once so far this year. The soils perfect here for Foxgloves, sandy. The woody bit in the background of my image usually has at least 100 different wild Foxgloves but these never approach the size of this bruiser.
Kinky Dave No we can't beat yours either, but love watching and hearing the bees in them. I think @Picidae 's is closest and also kinks a little, but at the bottom?
I learned something here I didn't know they prefer sandy soil, so maybe also the dry foundations of Picidae wall helps height.
I sowed some white ones a week or so ago, hope they come up we only have the wild ones and not many.
Changing the subject slightly on to what you feeding it on. Last week, two of my aunts, went to buy a Photinia Red Robin. The lady at the checkout said, you will need some bonemeal for that to give it a good start. "No Need", says my aunt, "I am planting my husband under it."

What did you feed it on, dead foxes?
😊
If you live in Derbyshire, as I do.
This one was huge!
