Fox Glove - Strawberry (Foxglove)
The Foxglove Strawberry, 'Digitalis ‘Strawberry’, is a showy and compact perennial that produces an array of wonderful crushed strawberry-red blooms. The dense spikes produce large tubular flowers. The foliage has a velvet and fuzzy texture that contrasts well with the flower colors. ‘Strawberry’ has a plant height of 3’ and a spread of 12-18”. Digitalis should be planted in full sun but will tolerate morning shade. It blooms early to mid summer, July to August. Being a major attraction to bees, butterflies and birds, it is a must in any garden. Try planting it in woodland gardens, as a border plant or cut-flowers. Remember to leave some dead flower stalks to self sow for future flowers. (All parts of Digitals are poisonous if ingested and can be invasive. ). ... more information
Heucherella - Dayglow Pink The Heucherella 'Dayglow Pink', also known as Foamy Bells, is a cross between Heuchera and Tiarella, this exciting breakthrough in breeding is a great addition to the garden lineup. Dayglow Pink is a hybrid between Coral Bells and Foam Flower, combining the best traits of both into one plant.

Nice choice for the woodland garden, or for edging in a shady perennial border or rock garden. It is evergreen in mild winter regions. Foliage should not be trimmed back in the fall, but plants may be tidied up in spring by removing any brown or tired-looking leaves Heucherella is easy to grow, has a long bloom time, and thrives in sun to part shade. |
