Foxgloves are European woodland plants that come in many forms – some dwarf and others very tall, usually in shades of pink and red. Most varieties are biennial, meaning they flower in their second year, before setting seed and dying.

Foxgloves look fantastic in the middle to back of ornamental borders, where their tall flowering spires lift the eye to the furthest reaches of the garden. They’re also much prized by bumblebees and other pollinating insects.

Digitalis ‘Pam’s Choice’ is one of the best foxglove cultivars available. Plants have tall, strong spires of cream-white flowers with gorgeous, burgundy-purple-speckled throats. For best results grow ‘Pam’s Choice’ in full sun or part shade. Like all foxgloves, plants are perfect for naturalising in shady borders.
