A gorgeous foxglove that will steal your heart! Stunning bright pink flower spikes with a rich plum and gold speckled throat rise up on upright stems with deep green foliage. More compact than most foxgloves, this hybrid form can flower in the first year over a long period. 'Foxlight Plum Gold' is perfect for a town garden or cottage garden alike.
Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. In milder areas apply a generous 5-7cm mulch in autumn to protect the roots from the cold. Alternatively, grow it in a pot and over-winter it in a cool greenhouse.
