Foxgloves are quintessential cottage garden plants. When I think of these blooms, I imagine an English pastoral landscape, a small cottage, wildflowers, and foxgloves shooting skywards, injecting pink and purple flashes of color in the borders. It is hard not to be romantic about this plant, for it is a timeless favorite of many gardeners.
Foxgloves typically flower from mid to late spring and bloom in a range of colors, from Barbie pink to Arctic white. Gardeners prize foxglove flowers for adding vertical structure to borders and containers, but they are also a popular plant for pollinators. The open, bell-shaped flowers attract bees and insects who can often be seen feasting on the nectar-rich blooms.
