Digitalis grandiflora

£7.50

This truly perennial species of Foxglove is easy to grow and deserves more recognition. It forms a low rosette of dark green leaves, bearing upright stalks of beautiful creamy-yellow bells through the summer. Each flower is intricately marked with brown on the inside. The lovely soft shade allows this plant to blend with nearly anything. Excellent for cutting. Remove faded flowers to encourage more buds to form.

Description

 

Extremely hardy, this is one of the toughest and best performers of all the foxgloves. The plants form low rosettes of dark green leaves, bearing upright stalks of beautiful creamy-yellow bells through the summer. Each large flower is intricately marked with brown on the inside. Growing only 24-36″ this compact plant does not need staking and is a good choice for the border or woodland. The flowers are excellent for cutting and, as with all foxgloves they are very attractive to bees.
