Digitalis lanata (Wooly Foxglove)

Digitalis lanata is loved by many wild insects, especially bumblebees, and looks somewhat more discreet in a semi-shaded bed than the apricot or purple foxgloves. Not to be outdone, its subtle colour is somewhere between brown, peach and rose. It is impossible to imagine gardens of contemporary garden designers without it and it is worth giving this unusual plant a try. The woolly foxglove is short-lived but propagates exceptionally well.
Caution! I would generally avoid using foxgloves in the garden with children, they are very poisonous.

Flowering time: May-July
Height/spacing: 60-80 cm/40 cm
Position: sun, partial shade, fresh soil
Notes: The plant is very poisonous and should not be planted in gardens where small children play!

Plant singly or in small groups if possible.
