Digitalis lanata 'Spice Island

In June and July tall spires bearing masses of beautiful custard yellow trumpets look just as though they have been dusted with nutmeg!! The name Foxglove is said to have arisen from a story about playful fairies, always playing pranks. Wanting to help the wily foxes, they slipped a foxglove over each paw and ever since, the fox has had the attribute of stealth. They even left their little fairy fingerprints on the blooms, in the form of tiny spots as proof. Height 120cm (48”). Spread 60cm (24”). Prefers well drained soil in sun or part shade. Hardy perennial.
