Digitalis mertonensis Coccinea is a captivating addition to any garden landscape. Also known as the Strawberry Foxglove, this summer beauty boasts clusters of bell-shaped flowers in hues ranging from soft pink to deep rose, resembling delicate strawberries dangling from their stems. Not just a visual delight, it is also a pollinator magnet, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators with its sweet nectar-filled blooms. Plant it in borders, cottage gardens, or woodland settings for a touch of rustic charm and natural allure. Thriving in partial shade to full sun, this hardy plant is a breeze to grow and requires minimal maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both novice and seasoned gardeners alike. With its tall spikes reaching up to 90cm in height, it adds vertical interest and drama to any garden space. As a hardy biennial, Digitalis are known for being short lived, but seed can be collected as the new plants will retain all the characteristics.
