We had just purpurea when I first sowed the seeds. We then began to get paler and white ones. Then this year we've only got one purple! There's a fabulous peachy coloured one in one of the village flower beds that we tend. I'm going to collect some seds from that, for sure!<br /><br />I clicked on your page with horror - I thought someone had been eating your feathered assistants!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12841961223771293021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-25877458472227628022010-06-29T09:11:06.684+01:002010-06-29T09:11:06.684+01:00We have lots of foxgloves too, the native wild spe...We have lots of foxgloves too, the native wild species and others, and I love them. The border right at the bottom of the garden is allowed to go wild for the bees and so on, and is always full of different foxgloves, buddleia, and other 'weeds' or wildflowers, call them what you will, which attract hoverflies.... it is near the fruit and veg patch so we like to encourage the latter!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-88362890036161895392010-06-29T08:54:34.758+01:002010-06-29T08:54:34.758+01:00I love foxgloves and grow purple and white ones bu...I love foxgloves and grow purple and white ones but now I've seen your Digitalis lutea I am very envious.<br /><br />As for your new variety; how about Digitalis Celia Hart I can see that at Chelsea!Acornmoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14982884920388966786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1220897337333701839.post-62199827958103607922010-06-28T21:41:53.738+01:002010-06-28T21:41:53.738+01:00Digitalis purlutea?

They used to raise foxgloves for the digitalis - to be turned into heart medicine.
