Perfect for wild-life friendly gardens and naturalistic planting schemes, Digitalis purpurea ‘Pollux Mix’ is a striking variety of foxglove. Elegant spires are adorned with bell-shaped flowers in a mix of soft pastel shades, including pink, lavender, and cream. A biennial or short-lived perennial, this variety adds drama to containers and borders in both cottage gardens and more modern planting schemes. Blooming in early to mid-summer, ‘Pollux Mix’ attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly gardens. The speckled throats of the flowers add extra charm, creating a classic woodland feel. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this foxglove prefers moist, well-drained soil and can grow up to 60cm tall, spreading to 30cm, a more compact version of this cottage garden plant. Though visually stunning, Digitalis purpurea can be toxic but only if ingested, so care should be taken. Ideal for naturalistic planting schemes, ‘Pollux Mix’ self-seeds easily, ensuring a recurring display of its elegant, pollinator-friendly blooms year after year.
