Description:
I think just about everyone loves foxgloves. They're just such brilliant plants. I have yet to find a foxglove that I don't like- from the common purple variety to more unusual shades. I'm afraid we don't know what these are, they're a pot luck- enjoy!
Care:
Fox gloves are pretty easy going but don't enjoy lots of over wet or over dry soil- just avoid the extremes. They can self seed easily and will also have little babies so it's often pretty effective to dig up in autumn or early spring and spread them around!
Current appearance: Established plant
