Mr Fothergrill's Wf-foxglove Few flowers have as much magic and mystery associated with them as the foxglove. Tall and stately, these plants have a long been used to create vertical interest in the garden. With stems reaching up to 1.8m(6ft) in height, depending on variety. A native of woodlands clearing, the foxglove does well in partial or dappled shade and in full sun if the soil is moisture-retentive, providing impressive flower spike in early summer. Ususally regarded as iennial or short-lived perennial, it is easy to grow from seed and virtually problem free.
