Orchid Foxglove
A fantastic new introduction of foxglove with characteristic leaves and habit, and a flower spike over 1.5m (5ft) tall. The unusual flowers appear in May, cream buds opening into pure white blooms splashed with red. Not only is the colour stunning but what makes this foxglove unique is the shape of the bloom, which looks more like an orchid than a foxglove. A real gem in any garden border.Position: partial shadeSoil: moist, humus-rich soilRate of growth: average Flowering period: May Flower colour: pure white splashed with redOther features: unusual orchid-like flowers; all parts of the plant may cause severe discomfort if ingested; contact with the foliage may irritate skin; excellent cut-flowersHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Ensure that the soil that foxgloves are grown in is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Apply a generous 5-7 cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the plant in early springGoes well with: Arum subsp. italicum 'Marmoratum', Asplenium scolopendrium 'Crispum', Dryopteris filix-mas, Polygonatum odoratum, Pulmonaria 'Sissinghurst White', Galanthus nivalisIt is worth keeping in mind that these plants are mainly bi-ennial, so although they usually self-seed freely, the plant will only live for two years |
