Digitalis purpurea f. albiflora

 

White foxglove

Tall spires of colourful, tubular flowers appear in summer above glossy or downy foliage. These biennial and perennial border plants, ranging in height from 45cm to 2m, enjoy moist, humus rich soil and benefit from a little shade. Some perennial species deteriorate after their first flowering and are best treated as biennials.
