Re: Digitalis obscura
Nan: Do you recall which magazine the Digitalis obscura was featured
in?
I grow many Digitalis species. D. obscura was one of many new ones I
got started last year, along with D. davisiana (this one is a very
sweet plant- of the softest yellow & large flowered), D. dubia (looks
a lot like plain old D. purpurea to me), D. thapsi, D. sibirica (a bit
like D. lanata, a foxglove I really like- fawn colored).
As for the D. dubia: I was expecting orange-yellow flowers on a
smallish Foxglove. Native to Spain. What I got resembles D.
grandiflora. Have never seen this plant "in the flesh" so would find
it helpful to see a picture; not that the picture is necessarily
correct either, as so often happens. There is much misnamed Digitalis
seed floating about the universe......
I grow all my Foxgloves in full sun and clay soil.
Have you tried D. parviflora? This one is a knockout!!!
