The Chinese foxglove is a delicate perennial, bearing large, bright pink-red bellflowers with yellow-spotted throats. The bells grow from rosettes of grey-green leaves and appear much like our native foxgloves, but with shorter, more delicate dark-red stems.

Rehmannia 'Walberton’s Magic Dragon’ is a recent hybrid of Rehmannia elata and Rehmannia glutinosa. It's a vigorous plant with large, wide, foxglove-like flowers, borne throughout summer.

For best results grow Rehmannia 'Walberton’s Magic Dragon’ in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered site. In cooler regions it may need a protective layer of mulch in autumn to protect the roots. Otherwise, bring plants indoors over winter.
