If you're looking for an eye-catching plant to add height and interest to your garden, then this hybrid foxglove will certainly add the 'wow factor' to your displays this summer. Foxgloves hold a special place in the hearts of many gardeners and this remarkable variety is rapidly becoming one of the garden-designers' darlings, with their stately spires cropping up in all of the latest contemporary gardens. Digitalis Foxglove 'Illumination Flame' is an absolutely stunning perennial, producing multiple spikes of tubular blooms that will, simply, take your breath away. The striking flame-coloured tubular flowers are lightly speckled and shimmer faintly when illuminated by the sun giving real impact to any garden. Produced in abundance from early June to October they're magnets to furry bumble bees and other beneficial pollinating insects! Relatively compact compared to other foxgloves, 'Illumination Flame' is sterile which means that they will put all of their energy into making more blooms and don't make a nuisance of themselves by seeding everywhere. Plus, they have a naturally branching habit, which results in lots of flower spikes, makes these one of the showier varieties. Foxgloves thrive in full sun, or dappled shade, and are very easy to grow indeed, giving gardens a wild and naturalistic feel or a smart contemporary look depending on where you plant them. Perfect for a pot if you're short on space. Supplied as 6 x jumbo plug plants ready to pot on or plant out. Grows to H100cm x W50cm
Great border plant with towering stems, teaming with white blooms, that bear a deep magenta throat. Perfect for semishaded locations in a garden. Height: 150cm (59). Spread: 45cm (18).
Also known as ?Woolly Foxglove?, the stunning coffee-coloured blooms of Foxglove lanata 'Cafe Creme' have a soft, fuzzy appearance. It?s easy to see how this unique variety got its name - most noteworthy is their unusual colouring - brown-hooded blooms with intricate vein markings appear to seep into the cream-coloured lower lip.
This is a foxglove with a unique difference - instead of modestly facing downwards, the chunky flower spikes of Foxglove 'Candy Mountain' are packed with blooms which gaze upwards so you can see the intricate detail on the speckled throats.
