Add timeless elegance and vertical drama to your garden with our pure White Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea alba). These quintessential cottage garden plants are famous for their tall, majestic spikes adorned with large, bell-shaped white flowers. The blooms often feature delicate greenish-white speckling inside, creating a sophisticated look for shaded borders and woodland settings.
Supplied in established 1Ltr pots, these plants offer a much more robust start than smaller plug plants, ensuring quicker establishment and a more impressive floral display. Foxgloves are a magnet for bumblebees and provide essential height to the middle or back of flower beds. Their architectural form and ability to thrive in dappled shade make them a must-have for any traditional or contemporary garden.
