Foxglove 'Gigantea'
With its towering spires of tubular, copper-bronze flowers, this dramatic biennial or short-lived perennial brings bold structure and earthy elegance to the garden. Each densely packed stem is adorned with textured, bell-shaped blooms that feature rich russet tones and intricate veining, loved by bees and beneficial insects alike.
Reaching up to 150 cm tall and around 45 cm wide, it creates a striking vertical accent from late spring to midsummer in the Southern Hemisphere. Ideal for naturalistic borders, cottage gardens, or adding height and contrast to mixed perennial beds.
It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soil. While the rosette forms in the first year, the impressive flower spikes follow in the second, making it well worth the wait. Let it self-seed to enjoy its sculptural beauty year after year.
This is a superb choice for gardeners seeking a plant that combines wild charm with strong form—reliably hardy, visually impactful, and wonderfully pollinator-friendly.
