A popular old-fashioned plant that will attract nectar-feeding birds to the garden and readily self-sows. The low-growing foliage is topped by 60-90 cm spectacular well-formed flower spikes in a mix of pastel shades on well-formed flower spikes.

Ideal for cottage gardens and makes excellent cut flowers.

Plants may re-bloom if spent flower stalks are cut back after blooming.

The dried leaves are the principal source of the drug digitalis, a heart medicine used to strengthen heart muscle contractions. This belongs to a group of drugs called cardiac glycosides.

The seeds are small, it is best to sow them on the surface, cover lightly and keep them moist.
If growing in trays transplant when large enough to handle.
If sowing for mass plantings scatter on roughened soil and rake cover lightly.

Germination: 14-21 days at a soil temperature of 18-22°C
Plant Space: 35 cm
