Product Description

Mr Fothergills Foxglove Excelsior Mixed (Digitalis purpurea) is a much-loved, nostalgic garden favourite known for its elegant form and soft colouring. Unlike traditional foxgloves, the Excelsior strain produces blooms all around the upright stem, creating fuller, more dramatic flower spikes. The pastel-toned flowers add height, structure and charm to borders, particularly in partially shaded areas. Easy to grow and dependable, these foxgloves are not only visually striking but also provide excellent nectar sources for bees and butterflies, making them a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
