Digitalis × mertonensis

Commonly known as the Strawberry Foxglove, this perennial bears spires of soft yellow-tipped, strawberry ice cream pink tubular flowers with darker veined throats. Robust and reliably perennial, this plant was first bred in 1925 from a crossing of Digitalis grandiflora and Digitalis purpurea.

It makes an intriguing and unusual addition to a woodland garden, but also looks wonderful in a cottage garden setting. Bees love it. Digitalis × mertonensis performs best in fertile soil enriched with humus, in part shade or sun.
