Foxglove Apricot Beauty Seeds — Digitalis purpurea

A Warm Glow for the Cottage Border

Foxglove Apricot Beauty (Digitalis purpurea) is a stunning biennial that brings soft, peachy-apricot spires to the cottage garden. Each tall stem is lined with tubular blooms in warm apricot tones, often with delicate spotting inside — a magnet for bumblebees and a favourite for cutting. Elegant, statuesque, and utterly romantic.

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow in spring or early summer for flowers the following season. Foxgloves thrive in partial shade to full sun in cooler NZ regions, in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. They self-seed freely once established, naturalising beautifully in cottage and woodland gardens. Ideal for Canterbury, Otago, Wellington, and the central North Island.
