Rusty Foxglove

Elegant spires of golden-brown, tubular flowers

Elegant spires of golden-brown, tubular flowers are produced during midsummer. An unusual variation on the common foxglove which looks lovely in a shady corner of the garden. Though it is a biennial it will self seed itself freely in the garden.Position: partial shadeSoil: moist, humus-rich soilRate of growth: average to fast-growing Flowering period: June to July Flower colour: golden-brownOther features: all parts of the plant may cause severe discomfort if ingested; contact with the foliage may irritate skinHardiness: fully hardyGarden care: Ensure that the soil that foxgloves are grown in is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Apply a generous 5-7 cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the plant in early springIt is worth keeping in mind that these plants are mainly biennial, though they will produce plenty of new sideshoots and self-seed freely
