Description

Now here’s a Foxglove to talk about! Not only is it apparently new to cultivation, but it is also about the tallest one around. Decidedly impressive, it produces long, thin spires bearing for most of their length crowded, large-lipped, dark veined, old gold-orange flowers. Soundly perennial and bone hardy, this plant will perform trouble-free for many years.
