Add item to quote to see pricing

Digitalis purpurea is a captivating addition to any garden, seducing the eye with its elegant spires that can reach up to 5 feet in height. Known commonly as Foxglove, this charismatic perennial unveils round after round of luxurious, bell-shaped flowers that transition seamlessly between appealing shades of purple, pink, and white. What sets the Foxglove apart is its verdant, rosette-forming foliage that not only forms a perfect baseline but also showcases long, downy leaves. It's a low maintenance pleasure too with moderate water requirements and a preference for partial shade. The Foxglove offers more than just visual appeal - it's a hummingbird and bee magnet that heightens your garden's ecosystem and boosts biodiversity. Be mindful, though, for all its resplendent charm, every part of the Foxglove plant carries a toxicity that can be harmful if ingested, caution is advised if pets or children are present.
