Digitalis Purpurea Excelsior
In stock
Description
The Excelsior group of foxgloves is a particularly fine strain, producing flower spikes with large trumpets in clear colours, in a range of lovely pastel shades, that look spectacular at the back of a border and are exceptionally attractive to bees. If your soil is dry and free-draining, try to incorporate plenty of organic matter into the soil before planting. RHS AGM winner
Sowing Advice
Sow immediately at any time onto preferably a soil-based compost, covering with fine grit to approximately their own depth. Germination MAY be quicker if kept at 15 to 20 degrees C. but many seeds WILL NOT come up the year they are sown, needing winter chilling after sowing, and ONLY come up with natural spring germination.
