DIGITALIS Scrophulariaceae
 Digitalis davisiana 2ltr...£3.25
Less often seen than some, this is a small, clump-forming perennial with narrow leaves and slender stems of creamy-apricot flowers with pale orange-webbed interiors. S.W. Turkey.
Digitalis dubia 9cm...£2.50
A charming and refined small species; though, unfortunately, not long-lived. Quite large downy leaves and short stems of large, drooping, soft pink flowers. Spain.
 Digitalis ferruginea 1ltr...£3.00
Three or four feet tall stems of yellowish, orange-brown flowers with netted interiors and a distinct protruding lip.
A startling four or five foot spike with literally hundreds of honey-brown, white-lipped flowers packed into a dense column. Acts as a stunning beacon for any bees or hover flies within a six-mile radius ( approximately ).
Digitalis ferruginea var. schischkinii 2tr...£3.25
Quite a stocky form with large, tubby, mahogany-gold flowers which seem to glow as though each is lit from within. An exceptionally attractive foxglove originally collected from N.E.Turkey.
 Digitalis fontanesii 2ltr...£3.25
A tall-growing species making a robust clump with a stout spike consisting of many large, pale yellow tubes much visited by bees.
 Digitalis lanata 2ltr...£3.25
Digitalis lutea 'Brickell's Form' 2ltr...£2.75
As above, but the flowers have a subtley contrasting interior of green.
 Digitalis mertonensis 2ltr...£3.00
 Digitalis obscura 2ltr...£3.00
A particularly choice foxglove from Spain; narrow, leathery, dark green foliage beneath eighteen-inch stems of glamourous orange or amber-brown, pendant funnels picked out with deep yellow and brown marked throats. A charmer.

 Digitalis purpurea 'Giant Spotted Group' 2ltr...£2.25
A quite spectacular foxglove which can reach six feet in a rich soil.....four feet of that being flower spike. The spikes are tightly packed with numerous white tubes, attractively marked within with deep crimson markings.
 Digitalis spaniflora 2ltr...£3.25
Creamy tan flowers with reddish-brown interior webbing and an idiosyncratic, soft downy, protruding bottom lip make this a worthwhile addition to any sunny, mixed border. Three feet in flower.
