I saw this last Friday in a garden centre in Uxbridge for £8.99 so I went on Ebay and bought a packet of 100 seeds for 99p. It did look a very nice plant, taller than me too.
Different plant sites Hardys say will struggle in bad winters and best over wintered in greenhouse noting my luck I'll get one plant it out and we will get a cold winter I will wait and see if someone else in the Northeast over winters outside ok
If you grow them from seeds Zenjeff, they will become used to your climate and stand a better chance, I have bought the seeds from 'Just Seed' on eBay. If they germinated anything like ordinary foxgloves you may get 100 plants, some will survive.

That's the answer I think, I will look for seeds. Thanks GM
I went to a GC this morning and might have seen this plant. Not pure Rehmannia elata but a hybrid between that and R. glutinosa

That's Rehmannia elata though Lyn, no seed with this hybrid.
The words 'Illumination Pink' come to mind
I've lost Rehmannia elata in the past, no PM was carried out so no definite cause of death.
I wouldn't trust them
