Digitalis grandiflora Dwarf Carillion – Foxglove

Description

This beautiful, long-flowering, dwarf perennial foxglove looks great at the front to middle of a herbaceous border. The upright stalks of creamy-yellow tubular flowers are produced all summer long. The flowers have speckled throats which is typical of fox gloves. They thrive in a well drained soil in part shade but will  also grow well in full sun making them a great choice for those who want to grow foxgloves but do not have a suitable shady area..

Digitalis grandiflora is a short lived, clump forming perennial which will seed around if at least one flower stem is allowed to set seed. A very worthy plant which should be more widely grown.

Digitalis grandiflora Dwarf Carillion has been awarded the RHS Plants for Pollinators badge and is a valuable source of pollen / nectar for many insects.

Important: All foxgloves are TOXIC if eaten. Wear gloves and other protective equipment when handling. They are also TOXIC to pets
