{"product_id":"digitalis-ferruginea-gigantea","title":"Digitalis ferruginea 'Gigantea'","description":"\u003cp\u003eProviding a strong vertical accent and a sophisticated colour palette, this impressive variety is an excellent choice for adding height to the summer border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDistinct from the familiar woodland foxgloves, this towering variety brings a refined, architectural quality to the garden with its slender spires of coppery-gold blooms. The flowers, intricately veined in rusty brown, are densely packed along stems that can reach an impressive 1.5 metres, rising from a tidy rosette of dark green leaves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt performs reliably as a biennial or short-lived perennial, flowering in high summer and attracting a host of pollinators. This plant is excellent for adding vertical definition to mixed borders and works particularly well in naturalistic schemes or gravel gardens. It is a robust choice that tolerates drier soils better than many of its cousins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike most foxgloves, it is short-lived, generally flowering in its second or third year before fading, so our tip is to let a few spikes set seed and self-sow rather than deadheading everything, which keeps a succession of plants coming through your border in future years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJuly flowering. Biennial. Will grow in sun or semi-shade in well-drained soil. Height \u0026amp; spread: 150cm x 50cm (60\" x 20\").\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Barnsdale Gardens","offers":[{"title":"12cm","offer_id":39423364005949,"sku":"","price":6.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0269\/8271\/1357\/products\/digitalis-ferruginea-gigantea-01.jpg?v=1633999988","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnsdalegardens.co.uk\/products\/digitalis-ferruginea-gigantea","provider":"Barnsdale Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
