Foxglove ‘Milk Chocolate’ is sure to make mouths water with its rich, chocolate coloured blooms. Although Digitalis are poisonous, pollinators think it’s tasty, too, making the hardy perennial an excellent way of attracting bees and other beneficial insects to wildlife gardens in June and July. During the rest of the season, glossy foliage will continue to flourish in sunlight or partial shade and can provide an attractive backdrop for other plants. Consequently, the unusual Digitalis parviflora is sure to stand out throughout the spring, summer and autumn. Height: 60cm (2’0″); Spread: 30cm (1’0″).

Caution: Irritant to skin and eyes. Toxic if eaten. Plant Foxgloves out in sun or dappled shade on any fertile, well drained soil. Digitalis will grow well in most soils except for waterlogged or particularly dry conditions. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil prior to planting. Water well to settle the soil.
Water foxglove plants regularly until fully established. Foxgloves self-seed freely. If seedlings are not wanted, deadhead stems of foxglove flowers as the blooms fade. In autumn, cut back old stems to encourage plenty of new side shoots.
