notes
Beloved by bumblebees, the tall spires of this hardy biennial Digitalis purpurea 'Sutton's Apricot' reach over a metre in height and so are perfect for the back of a sunny border. The subtle shade of creamy pink flowers on mid-green leaves makes it a gentle foil for other more stridently coloured herbaceous plants such as peonies.

- Height and Spread: 120cm x 60cm (3ft 11in x 1 ft 11in)
