Digitalis purpurea ‘Giant Shirley’ Foxglove
This showstopping Garden of Merit winner, Foxglove Giant Shirley creates a tall structural punctuation in the garden. A mature height of up to five feet certainly makes Shirley noticeable, and the colorful blend of flowers makes this Excelsior foxglove a true beauty. A mix of colors, from purple to pink to white, it stands out, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Deer tend to stay away from all foxgloves, and these flowers self-sow and naturalize well.
Light: part sun to part shade
Height: 4-5 ft.
Bloom time: Late spring to mid-summer
CAUTION: All parts of this plant are toxic & may be fatal if ingested.
