Great value collection of white and pink foxgloves

Our good value White and Pink Digitalis Duo brings together the wild species (Digitalis purpurea) and its white form 'Alba'. These two varieties flower from May to July, in the form of flower spikes rising between 1.2 m and 1.5 m from the ground. Each spike can bear dozens of bell-shaped flowers that open from the bottom up the stem. The large slightly rough basal leaves form a rosette at the base of the plant. This foliage, which persists in winter, contributes to the beauty of the plant. Forming spectacular floral columns, digitalis are irreplaceable in wild or romantic flower beds, in partial shade or non-scorching sun.

This duo consists of:

x 3 Digitalis purpurea: spikes of pink bell-shaped flowers, deep pink, often speckled with darker spots inside.

x 3 Digitalis purpurea 'Alba': this variety is distinguished by its pure white flowers, barely speckled with pale yellow in the throat.

Plant the White and Pink Digitalis Duo in spring or early autumn in well-drained soil rich in humus (or potting soil), not drying out too much in summer. For optimal effect, place the digitalis at the back of flower beds or in the centre of borders, keeping a distance of 40 to 50 cm between each plant. They can also be planted in groups for a stronger visual impact. use 4 to 5 plants per m². Purple digitalis self-seeds spontaneously, without difficulty, without being invasive.

Plant these digitalis with English shrub roses or old roses, add some border bellflowers here and there. Hollyhocks, with their tall flower spikes, can be planted behind the digitalis to add depth to a composition. Pink or white perennial geraniums will form beautiful carpets at the base of the digitalis.
