Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Horizontally arrayed bells in cream, mauve, pink, and purple have the classic spotted throats. In folklore it was called folksglove or glove of the fairies. We offer a relatively modern variety that comes into bloom the first year from an early sowing, breaking the bonds of biennialism! Romantic in a woodland setting in dappled afternoon shade, or combined with columbines and roses. Late spring to early summer bloom.
