Digitalis 'Goldcrest'

Digitalis 'Goldcrest' is a warm, softly glowing foxglove, producing graceful spikes of nodding flowers from midsummer into early autumn. The blooms blend apricot and yellow tones in a way that feels mellow rather than brash, bringing a honeyed lightness to the border. With its upright stems and airy flower spikes, Digitalis 'Goldcrest' offers height without heaviness, slipping easily among perennials and lending the planting a relaxed, natural rhythm. It is a lovely choice where you want colour with subtlety and structure with a slightly wild edge.

Try Digitalis 'Goldcrest' with grasses, nepeta, salvias, achillea or dusky heucheras, where its apricot-yellow flowers can sing softly rather than shout. It is especially handsome in cottage garden borders, wildlife-friendly schemes and lightly shaded planting, where its warm tones brighten the scene through late summer. Digitalis 'Goldcrest' has that foxglove knack of looking as though it placed itself perfectly, even when you know very well you planted it there. Its nodding bells add movement and delicacy, while the vertical spikes bring welcome definition. Elegant, unusual and quietly radiant, Digitalis 'Goldcrest' is ideal for creating a border that feels painterly, generous and full of life.
