Digitalis purpurea 'Snowy Mountain'

Foxgloves are European woodland plant that appear in a variety of forms - some dwarf and others very tall, usually in shades of pink and red. Most foxglove 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 'Snowy Mountain' has upward-facing pure white blooms with purple speckles on the throat. It looks fantastic when grown en masse, where the flowers appear to glow in evening light.
