Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of our favorite Foxgloves – tightly packed, smallish brownish white flowers (sounds yucky, looks awesome!) in midsummer have a regal look. 3-5' tall & 18" wide – full sun to light shade, avg. water – Combine with other tall perennials or use as a 'skyline' accent among shorter companions. Very 'perennial'. An excellent choice!! Rare.

A perennial "Foxglove" that grows from a 6"-10" plant with flowing dark green foliage. In early Summer each plant sends up a slender spike of brilliant yellow, small pendulous flowers. It flowers for quite an extended period and will self seed graciously to form a lovely colony.

Native to the mountains of northern Spain this perennial species features tall spires of rusty orange flowers, bees love Foxgloves and they have evolved a classic lip for them to land on and stamens that wipe pollen on their backs. ZONE 5
