basic information
Foxglove, Excelsior Blend (Digitalis purpurea) adds vibrant colors and vertical interest to gardens with their tall spikes of tubular blooms in shades of pink, purple, white, and cream. They thrive in partial shade, making them ideal for woodland gardens, mixed borders, or as a backdrop for lower-growing plants. These biennials attract pollinators like bees and hummingbirds, enhancing garden biodiversity. Their striking appearance pairs well with ferns, hostas, or other shade-loving perennials, creating a lush, layered look.
