Chinese Foxglove Seeds


Chinese Foxglove ( Rehmannia elata )
JB197 Chinese Foxglove ( Rehmannia elata )
Winner of the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Commonly called Chinese foxglove because the tubular flowers bear a resemblance to digitalis ( foxglove ). Pollinators love the trumpet-shaped flowers, which are a lovely shade of rose-pink with speckled yellow throats. The blooms dangle from slender stems that rise above a basal rosette of scalloped gray-green foliage. The airy and delicate blossoms of combine grace and color with a long season of bloom.
Easy to grow, it is a perennial but might not survive above zone 7 so grow it there as an annual. Blooms prolifically first year from seed if sown the previous fall. No garden should be without this lovely plant, it looks both dainty and really exotic.
Although Chinese foxglove is not as hardy as its lookalike, digitalis, it is more versatile, growing well in shade and is even fairly drought-tolerant. Mature Height: 24-36", Spacing: 12-18". Zones 7-10.
