Digitalis Grandiflora

Description

Digitalis grandiflora, commonly known as Yellow Foxglove, is a graceful herbaceous perennial known for its elegant, tubular, pale yellow flowers that are marked with subtle brown veining. The blooms are arranged on tall, upright spikes that rise above a clump of lance-shaped, slightly hairy leaves. This foxglove variety brings a soft, naturalistic charm to borders, cottage gardens, and woodland settings. Deer-resistant and attractive to pollinators like bees, it is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Unlike its biennial relatives, D. grandiflora is a perennial, making it a long-lasting addition to your garden.

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.
