There are so many foxgloves varieties to choose from that you'll be spoiled for choice if you want to add some to your planting scheme. Producing slender spikes of flowers, foxgloves or Digitalis create vertical accents through a border. The statuesque spires show off the other plants around them and provide a great food source for bumblebees.
Of the 20 species of Digitalis, most are perennials, but the best known is the biennial purple-pink D. purpurea, which grows wild in and around woodland.
