Digitalis Goldcrest ('Waldigone') (PBR)

foxglove

Product Image
A compact, semi-evergreen perennial known for its striking display of peachy yellow, bell-shaped flowers on upright spikes. Blooming from mid-summer into early autumn, this shade-loving woodland plant forms a neat rosette of smooth, dark green leaves at its base. Unlike other foxgloves, it doesn't set seed, allowing for a continuous flowering season without the worry of self-seeding. Loved by pollinators, Digitalis ‘Goldcrest’ is perfect for adding architectural interest to borders and containers.

How to care for Digitalis Goldcrest ('Waldigone') (PBR):

Plant into a well-prepared border or woodland margin with plenty of organic matter (well-rotted compost). Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After the first flowerspikes have finished flowering, cut them back to encourage sideshoots to develop, which can go on to provide a second flush of flower. Then, when the last of these have died off, cut them all down to the ground. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter of new side shoots and self-seed freely.
