Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Majestic spires of snowy white flowers rise above upright stems and attractive lanceolate leaves. Touted as the first seed strain of pure white blooms, this biennial Foxglove looks outstanding in a drift with Corydalis 'Blue Panda', and perpetuates itself by easily reseeding.

By: Digging Dog Nursery

The first, pure-white, flowering seed strain of Foxglove. No spots and absolutely elegant! To 4’ tall, this biennial Foxglove, with its large, pendulous bells, is extremely easy to grow, just preferring rich soil for best performance. Excellent in almost any style of garden - especially cottage gardens, rose gardens, wildflower and cutting gardens. Blooming in Spring, they are best planted in Fall for the next Spring bloom season. Planted any other time, they will bloom the next Spring and will be huge and beautiful by that time. Reseeds easily and comes true to seed!
