Hardy Perennials

Transform Your Garden with Striking Foxgloves

Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) are classic British perennials famed for their tall, elegant flower spikes and vibrant bell-shaped blooms. This Fabulous Foxglove Collection brings a mix of deep purples and soft pinks, creating a dynamic display that evolves throughout the seasons.

• Perfect for Sun or Shade: These foxgloves adapt easily to different light conditions, making them ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens, or naturalised woodland settings.
• Height & Impact: Mature plants reach up to 1.2m (4ft), adding vertical drama to the back of borders or along fences.
• Biodiversity Boost: The nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds, helping your garden thrive.
• Easy Care: Foxgloves are robust and low-maintenance, requiring little more than occasional watering and deadheading after flowering.
• Plug Plant Convenience: Supplied as healthy plug plants ready for potting on or direct planting after frost risk passes.

Growing Guide

• Planting Time: Best planted in spring or early autumn when soil is moist but well-drained.
• Soil Preference: Prefers humus-rich, slightly acidic to neutral soil (pH 5.5–7.0).
• Sun/Shade: Grows well in partial shade but tolerates full sun if soil remains moist.
• Caring Tips: Water regularly during dry spells. Remove spent flower spikes to encourage further blooms or allow seed heads to self-sow for naturalised displays.
• Hardiness: Fully hardy in UK climates (USDA zones 4–9).

Design Ideas & Companion Plants

• Pair with ferns, hostas, or astilbes for lush woodland borders.
• Add alongside delphiniums and lupins for a traditional cottage garden look.
• Create wildlife-friendly areas by grouping foxgloves near pollinator-attracting perennials.
