DIGIPLEXIS® Illumination Flame


Tender Hybrid Foxglove

USDA Zone: 8-9

Plant number: 1.189.830


This outstanding hybrid is the result of breeding between Digitalis (Foxglove) and a Digitalis relative from the Canary Islands, Isoplexis. Masses of beautiful tubular flowers appear over a long period on tall stems in red to orange shades with yellow throats, very much resembling living flames. Attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies and bees. Definitely worth growing as an annual farther north. Won Plant of the Year at the 2012 Chelsea Flower Show and Greenhouse Grower’s 2013 Award of Excellence. It was also featured in the March/April 2014 issue of Fine Gardening Magazine and in the June 2014 issue of Garden Gate Magazine. CAUTION: Toxic if eaten. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
