iI have today purchased a foxglove named sweet dreams, it appears to be a dwarf variety with gorgeous pink flowers all round the stem. I cannot find any information on the net. Does anyone know this plant

I've never heard of it and found nothing on a search which I'm sure you'd already done.
Have you got a photo?

I typed Digitalis Sweet Dreams into google and it came up with a number of links to Danish and Dutch web sites. There is a button on the right which allows you to translate into English.
This foxglove is mentioned on continental websites.
Do you think it's one that has a different culivar name in the uk?
It's a Digitalis purpurea cultivar, nothing else looks like that, so expect it to be biennial.

I think its foxglove candy mountain. The mountain series have upward facing flowers.
Looks very much like it fidget
