White Foxglove
Of the two Foxgloves that have flowered in our garden this year one is the
usual pink with throat blotches but the other is pure white, no blotches or any colour at all. I can't say I've seen one just pure white before. -- Regards Bob Hobden Posting to this Newsgroup from the W.of London. UK |

Many local people think they are lucky and will dig them up to plant in their gardens - they do not come true from seed. Phil Northern Highlands of Scotland |

Phil Northern Highlands of Scotland You can buy white seed, the only trouble is that over time they will mix with the wild ones and their offspring won't all be white. Jonathan |
