Strawberry Foxglove
Foxglove
Digitalis used to be called “Folks Glove,” because its flower resembled the finger of gloves
worn by “good folk” or fairies, who, like the plant, dwell in deep hollows and woody dells. This poisonous herb grows easily in any fertile soil, seeds itself freely, and lends a naturalized look at the edge of woodlands, especially when combined with Aruncus, Actaea, or ferns. Digitalis x mertonensis 
This evergreen Foxglove is loved for its lush, velvety, dark green basal foliage. Its large flowers are tinged with rosy mauve and peppered with coppery sandstone. Divide after blooming to maintain as a perennial. Combine with Geranium ‘Langthorn’s Blue’ to make a bold statement.
Blooms July–August. Size: 2' high x 12" wide; hardy to zone 5. Digitalis x mertonensis (p-0195)
Each $6.75
