Digitalis 'Lucas Light Pink'

Digitalis 'Lucas Light Pink' brings a gentle, romantic lift to the summer border, with spires of tubular pale pink and soft salmon pink flowers held above neat, dark-green foliage. The leaves are wrinkled, toothed and satisfyingly substantial, creating a strong base before the flowering stems rise with their elegant display. Each bloom has a soft white and pink speckled throat, giving Digitalis 'Lucas Light Pink' that delightful close-up detail foxgloves do so well. Flowering from early summer through to autumn, it offers a long season of colour without ever looking overdone.

Lovely in cottage gardens, woodland edges and relaxed mixed borders, Digitalis 'Lucas Light Pink' pairs beautifully with hardy geraniums, astrantia, ferns and ornamental grasses. Its pale colouring is especially useful for brightening partially shaded corners, though it is just as charming in a sunny spot with moisture-retentive soil. Digitalis 'Lucas Light Pink' has the vertical grace of a classic foxglove, but with a softer, more contemporary palette. Allow a few stems to weave through planting for a natural effect, where Digitalis 'Lucas Light Pink' can lend height, poise and just the right amount of garden theatre.
