Foxglove Red (Digitalis purpurea) plants
Price range: £1.25 through £3.95
Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is a tall, striking wildflower easily recognised by its distinctive bell-shaped blooms. It’s a familiar sight across the UK, bringing vibrant colour to summer landscapes. Digitalis purpurea thrive in lime-poor soils, especially in areas where the ground has been recently cleared or burned. They’re often found in deciduous woodlands, scrub, and heathlands, where their tall spires attract bees and add a dramatic splash of pink and purple to natural habitats.
Warning: This plant is toxic if consumed and should not be eaten by people or animals.
