Digitalis 'Serendipity'

Foxgloves are European woodland plant that come in many forms - some dwarf and others very tall, usually in shades of pink and red. Most varieties are biennial, meaning they flower in their second year, before setting seed and dying.

Foxgloves look fantastic in the middle to back of ornamental borders, where their tall flowering spires lift the eye to the furthest reaches of the garden. They're also much prized by bumblebees and other pollinating insects.

Digitalis 'Serendipity' is a relatively new introduction with an unusual look. It's a shortlived perennial with numerous pink-purple flowers that are split into four thin, wavy segments, giving it a frilly appearance. The unusual shape of the flowers mean they are less attractive to bees, and less likely to self-seed than other foxgloves.
