Foxglove plants (Hatfield AL10)

Digitalis purpurea.

I love foxgloves, but I've planted as many as I can find space for and some have seeded themselves in unwanted places and will need to go. I also have some less strong foxgloves in pots - ask for details if you're more interested in those. I believe I also have a huge packet of home-collected see too if you'd like to try that way.

Established strong rosettes that should push up a strong flower stem this summer, flower and then set masses of seed. The pictures in flower are from previous year. The picture showing only leaves is now.

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.
