Product Description
Something about foxgloves adds woodland whimsy to the garden, and this giant variety takes that aesthetic to a new level. A showstopping Garden of Merit winner, Foxglove Giant Shirley stands head and shoulders above the rest of the garden, with featherlike fronds and huge, pendulous bells of color. A mature height of up to five feet certainly makes Shirley noticeable, and the colorful blend of flowers makes this Excelsior foxglove a true delight to behold. A mix of colors, from purple to pink to white, stands out along tall racemes, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds. Deer tend to stay away from foxgloves, and these flowers self-sow and naturalize well. Digitalis purpurea Excelsior 'Giant Shirley'
Foxgloves are toxic, so be sure to choose a location free of children and pets for these perennials.
