Overview

This mixed selection of Digitalis, commonly known as Foxgloves, brings graceful vertical interest and long-lasting seasonal colour to the garden. As this is a mixed assortment, the exact variety supplied will vary, with flower colours that may include white, cream, pink, rose, purple or apricot. While individual cultivars differ, each shares the classic upright flower spikes and natural charm that make foxgloves a favourite in traditional and contemporary planting schemes.

Perfect for cottage gardens, woodland borders and wildlife-friendly planting, foxgloves combine beautifully with roses, hardy geraniums, ferns and other herbaceous perennials. Their nectar-rich tubular flowers provide an important food source for bumblebees and other long-tongued pollinating insects throughout the flowering season.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Grow in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered position where the tall flower spikes are protected from strong winds.

Watering

Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry periods, particularly in warm weather.

Soil

Plant in fertile, humus-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil. Incorporating organic matter before planting will support healthy growth and flowering.

Hardiness

Hardiness varies between the varieties included in the mix, but foxgloves are generally well suited to Irish gardens and return or self-seed readily under suitable conditions.

Care

Remove spent flower spikes after flowering to keep plants tidy, or leave selected stems to set seed if naturalising is desired. Cut back faded foliage once it has died down.

Perfect For

• Cottage gardens

• Woodland-style planting

• Mixed herbaceous borders
