Create an impressive cottage-garden display with stately spires of cream, pink, purple and white flowers. Unlike ordinary wild foxgloves, the blooms are carried around the entire upright stem for a particularly full and colourful display. Ideal for the back of borders and lightly shaded gardens, where their nectar-rich flowers will attract bees and other beneficial pollinators. All parts of foxglove are harmful if eaten.
