Commonly known as Strawberry Foxglove, Digitalis mertonensis is a stunning herbaceous perennial, blending the best qualities of traditional foxgloves with unique charm. Reaching heights of 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm), this plant features tall spikes adorned with tubular, strawberry-pink flowers. Each bloom is marked by a soft, velvety texture and faint internal speckling, which attracts pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Its broad, dark green leaves form a rosette at the base, providing a lovely contrast to the upright flower spikes. Digitalis mertonensis thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil and prefers partial shade, though it can tolerate some sun. Hardy in USDA zones 4-9, this foxglove is perfect for adding vertical interest and a pop of color to cottage gardens, woodland settings, or mixed borders. Please note that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
