three years ago i bought digitalis saltwood summer. It was planted in
my raised border in a general peat based compost. for the first year i
kept it well watered and last year it flowered beautifully, but this
year there was hardly any leaves and i had 6 flower stalks and they
werent up to much. Now it has died completely,with no signs of any
leaves at all. It got the sun all day, but the weather this year in
the highlands hasnt been great and im wondering if the cold wet summer
finished it off and should i try and get another one.

IIRC, digitalis prefers part-sun to part shade. perhaps it was getting too
much sun?
