Following the success of 'Candy Mountain' and 'Snowy Mountain' comes the next individual colour in the 'Mountain' foxglove series. With the same upward-facing flowers as its cousins, 'Candy Mountain Peach' is the perfect choice for planting at the back of cottage garden borders where the unusual colour of its peach-tinged and delicately dotted trumpets will attract bees - as well as the admiration of your neighbours!
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. Enjoying a partially shaded position, undemanding Foxgloves are a classic choice for growing in woodland areas or in borders in the dappled shade of trees.
Foxglove Candy Mountain is totally unique as it is the first upward facing foxglove from seed. This unusual characteristic enables you, and the bees, to peep inside the stunning rose pink blooms and view their delightful freckled throats, which appear all the way around the stems. These flower stems are so strong, sturdy and erect that in breeding trials Candy Mountain was given the nickname 'Viagra'! Ideal for planting in drifts, creating a colourful display towards the middle or back of your perennial or cottage garden borders. Height: 90-140cm (36-56 inches)
