I've never seen a foxglove before with blooms that point *up*... are they
actually rare or have I just been unlucky? |

I think your Foxglove is one of the 'Excelsior' strain of Digitalis purpurea. The flowers grow horizontally on the spike and can be pink, purple, cream or white in colour. A jolly nice and special Foxglove to have in your garden. Mike Derby |

I meant unlucky *before* now. :-) I think your Foxglove is one of the 'Excelsior' strain of Digitalis purpurea.

It is indeed, and there are dozens of them scattered around the garden. All but this one are in shades of purple or cream, with blooms that hang... and since D. purpurea is an annual/sometimes-biennial, I'd guessed that this was just an interesting sport. Whatever - you're right. It's nice and it's special. :-) |
