DIGITALIS SEEDS

The Digitalis genus, commonly known as Foxglove, is a striking member of the Plantaginaceae family. Renowned for their tall, spire-like flower clusters in shades of purple, pink, white, yellow, and cream, Digitalis plants bring dramatic vertical interest to cottage gardens, borders, and woodland edges. The tubular, bell-shaped flowers, often speckled inside, are highly attractive to pollinators such as bees.

Native to Europe, North Africa, and western Asia, Digitalis thrives in well-drained soils and sunny to partially shaded locations. These biennials or short-lived perennials are easy to grow and often self-seed, creating naturalistic drifts of blooms. Species such as Digitalis purpurea, or Common Foxglove, are particularly popular for their classic beauty and versatility in a range of garden settings.

The Digitalis genus combines elegance and ecological value, but caution is advised as all parts of the plant are highly toxic. Its towering blooms and adaptability make Digitalis a timeless favourite for gardeners seeking to create vibrant, wildlife-friendly displays.
