Tell Me More...
Digitalis purpurea 'Sutton's Apricot' bears soft, green leaves from February through to November and in late spring and summer towering spires of tubular flowers emerge, maturing on strong stems from the base upwards. Flowers have dappled, speckled interiors and are multi-hued to bring exciting new creamy tones to your planting from late spring through to the middle of summer. Watch as pollinators pop into each flower, causing them to bob gently up and down. Frequently seen in herbaceous borders, digitalis can also be grown in containers. Commonly known as foxgloves because legend tells naughty fairies put the blooms from a digitalis over the fox's paws to help him keep silent whilst he was hunting (the tiny dappled marks inside are said to have been left by the fairies' footprints). Native to woodland areas, Digitalis purpurea 'Sutton's Apricot' prefers to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in sun or part shade. A hardy, semi-evergreen biennial which grows to an approximate height of 1.5m and spread of 50cm.
