Digitalis 'Waldigone' GOLDCREST foxglove
Thanks to its exceptional color, it blends in perennial borders with other bright coloured plants. It is beautiful in combination with purple sage or deep pink loosestrife and speedwell. If you're making a meadow-like bed that won't be too dry, combine it with gaura, pastel pink coneflowers and steel blue sea holly or corydalis.
The leaves are similar to the female parent (d. obscura) thanks to which it is called willow-leaved foxglove. They are very elegant, narrowly lanceolate, soft, glossy, bright green and slightly serrated at margins. Foxglove is a medicinal plant, but also poisonous. Fortunately, it does not form any attractive berries that would attract children, however, it is not recommended for group plantings near playgrounds, nurseries and similar facilities. This foxglove is a reliable perennial that does not need to reseed to last in-situ.
Foxglove will grow in almost any soil apart from too wet or too dry. In the wild it is found in humus-rich soils in light woods and its margins, which means that it will love partial shade in your garden, or full sun if kept moist. Excess fertilizing may result in production of enormous leaves but no flowers. Hardy to min. -30°C (USDA zone 5) but very likely even more.
