Category:

Foxglove Foxy from Starke Ayres is a compact, early-flowering variety of Digitalis purpurea that blooms in its first season, unlike traditional biennial foxgloves. It produces dense spikes of pastel-colored, thimble-shaped flowers that are especially popular with bees. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings, it thrives in full sun to shade and is suitable for tray or direct sowing. Seeds are chemically treated and hermetically sealed. Not intended for food, feed, or processing.
