Digitalis purpurea 'Sutton's Apricot' (foxglove Suttons Apricot)

Digitalis purpurea ‘Sutton’s Apricot’ (foxglove Suttons Apricot) was £7.99 now £6.99
Position: full sun to partial shade Soil: moist, humus-rich soil Rate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: May to July Flower colour: apricot-pink Hardiness: fully hardy Tubular, apricot-pink flowers that are attractively spotted inside their throat with brownish-maroon, form along one side of the impressive spike in early summer. Over a period of several months, they open from the base upwards above the slightly hairy foliage. Garden care: Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Cut down to the ground after flowering. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-ro tted organic matter around the plant in early spring. These plants are mainly biennial, although they will produce plenty of new sideshoots and self-seed freely.
