Been working on my foxglove soil seedbank for years and maybe I finally have enough to give away this year. Get your orders in now. If there is interest I will pot up some young plants (see last picture) or possibly by arrangement, you can have a clump straight from the ground.
These are the native biennial: young plants this year will establish over autumn/winter and should flower next sping, produce masses of seed and then, usually, die. Digitalis purpurea.
Very good for wildlife - you will always find bumble bees disappearing up the trumpets. Strong upright stems need no support and can reach 8ft in ideal conditions. Not fussy about soil type (they're fine on my heavy clay) and cope with a bit of shade or sun. Once established they are fine in dry soil and will not need watering.
