Digitalis 'Silver Fox'

£4.00

One of the new ‘wow’ Foxgloves it has been grown for several years now and is a proven winner. Best in the gravel bed a or in pots in the sun. The foliage is silver and hairy so needs protecting from the wet, especially in the winter months. The creamy flower buds open to beautiful white flowers produced around the stem, it has a long flowering season, cut back the old stems as they finish. 50cm to 60cm. Full Sun

This hybrid is derived from a form called Digitalis purpurea subsp Heywoodii introduced by Professor Heywood at Reading University. Originating from Portugal in the 1970’s.

50 very tiny seeds. Open over a sheet of white paper.

The seed we offer can be sown anytime from January to September. Sowing between January and April will require slight warmth (15°C to 21°C) to maintain germination. Later sowings from April to September will not require artificial heat, they will require protection from sudden downpours or extremes of temperature. Seed trays may dry out more easily in summer sun. Further detailed sowing information is sent with the seeds.
