    I have pricked out 70 Digitalis candy mountain. They will be dropped into gaps in a couple of months to flower next year. for the cost of a  packet of seed, I think they are wonderful.

    I love some of the more unusual Digitalis. I have D. ferruginea [ ? sp. ], which seems to last a few years, and has a lovely colour, that fits in with many schemes.

    I'm quite new to gardening and just bought an Illumination Pink at my garden centre. After reading this thread I'm regretting it ! I have planted it under a tree in my very small town garden with some other foxgloves, hardy geraniums and some shrubs and grasses. I have partial shade here and it is east facing. I live on the coast so it can be windy and cold. Maybe I will dig up and overwinter rather than trusting it to be outside.

    Mine lived outside for two years okay and last year flowered for months...no sign of life now though...

    Other 'perennials' spice island and Polkadot pippa seem to have given up after one summer, weaklings!image
