  • Organic Woolly Foxglove (Digitalis Lanata)

    Digitalis lanata has a beautiful colouration, from late spring to mid summer it produces tall spikes of densely packed, fawn-coloured flowers each with a pearl coloured lower lip. Each of the blooms is delicately patterned with dark brown veins.

    It is also known as the 'Woolly Foxglove', it produces woolly spikes, often reddish-purple in colour, and the mid-green, lance shaped leaves sometimes have white woolly hairs on the leaf veins. This perennial variety grows to a height of only 60 to 72cm (24 to 30in), and produces many stems that are suitable for cut flowers.
     

    How to Grow

    The plants establish and grow leaves in the first year, it will send up large spikes, then flower and produce seeds in the second. As a rule, they are hardy plants and can cope with any soil unless it is very wet or very dry. They are fairly disease resistant, although the leaves may suffer slightly from powdery mildew if the summer is hot and humid. If you cut the stalk down before it goes to seed, it will generally rebloom through August and, if you wish, you can reseed from the second showing.

    Self-sown seedlings are best transplanted when the leaves are about 10cm long. Make sure the newly moved plants are watered very well to help them establish.
