Also known commonly as Foxgloves, the name is said to have arisen from a story about playful fairies, wanting to help wily foxes. They slipped a flower over each paw and ever since, the fox has had the attribute of stealth. They even left their little fairy fingerprints on the blooms, in the form of tiny spots as proof.Adored by gardeners and florists and much sought after by the garden pollinators, these awesome digitalis have been curated to give you colourful spires of splendour from May to September. Your collection comprises; purpurea 'Elsey Kelsey' height 1.2m, spread 30-45cm; lutea AGM height 90cm, spread 30-45cm; obscura 'Dusky Maid' height 1.2m spread 30-50cm; purpurea 'albiflora' height 1.5m spread 30-60cm; purpurea 'Apricot Beauty' height 1.5m spread 45cm; purpurea height 2m spread 60cm; purpurea 'Dalmatian Peach' height 60cm spread 30-45cm; purpurea 'Dalmatian Purple' height 60cm spread 45cm; purpurea 'Dalmatian Rose' height 60cm spread 45cm; x mertonensis 'Summer King' height 1m, spread 50cm; purpurea subsp haywoodii 'Silver Fox' height 75cm spread 45cm; and purpurea 'Camelot Cream' AGM height 1.2m spread 45cm.All prefer moist, well-drained soil in a site which enjoys sun for part of the day.
