Introduce majestic architectural height and a soft palette of nostalgic colour to your garden.

A classic hardy perennial variety featuring statuesque flower spikes loaded with pastel blooms arranged completely around the stem. Reaching an impressive tall height, it provides a magnificent backdrop for traditional country borders while acting as a magnet for vital British pollinators.

Details:

  • Botanical Name: Digitalis purpurea, a beloved and traditional native woodland staple.
  • Plant Class: Hardy Perennial, creating a reliable, long-term structure that frames your garden landscape year after year.
  • Growth Habit: Reaches a dramatic and commanding height of 150cm (60in), making it the perfect choice for creating vertical interest at the back of borders or against rustic garden walls.
  • Unique Flower Form: Unlike wild foxgloves where blooms hang to one side, the Excelsior strain carries its soft pastel-coloured bells all the way around the stem for a fuller, high-impact display.
  • Sunlight Position: Thrives beautifully in a partial shade position, allowing you to easily illuminate dappled woodland spaces, orchard floors, or shaded boundary beds.
  • Wildlife Friendly: Highly attractive to both bees and butterflies, providing a crucial and abundant source of nectar throughout the summer months.

Care & Growing Instructions:

  • Sowing Position: Plant in moist, well-drained soil in a partially shaded or dappled area, allowing enough space for the tall spikes to mature without obstruction.
  • Maintenance: A straightforward, low-maintenance plant; let the spent flower heads naturally drop their seed at the end of the season to ensure successive generations of beautiful blooms.
