Overview

Longer-lived than many other forms. A interesting and attractive new foxglove that is more reliably perennial than many other foxgloves. It also tends to produce a multi-stemmed flower spike, so it puts on a really generous display in early summer, and then often goes on to produce a smaller flush later on in the year. The flower's colouring is different too - being coppery yellow, and looking as though it has been dusted with cinnamon. These plants are perennial, but do tend to be rather short-lived.

Care guide

Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the plant in early spring.

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Our 9cm pots are given extra packaging to protect the plant. This extra packaging consists of a recyclable plastic blister pack which is then placed in a cardboard box for delivery.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.
