'Bella'
Canary Island foxglove
Digitalis canariensis 'Bella', also known as the Canary Island foxglove or Isoplexis canariensis, is a striking shrub that brings a touch of tropical elegance to your garden. Standing at a respectable 1.2 to 1.5 metres tall, this sparingly-branched beauty produces clusters of long, foxglove-like flowers in a warm peachy-orange hue. The colour is as vibrant as a sunset, and these blooms stand out, creating an eye-catching focal point in borders or near garden edges. Digitalis canariensis 'Bella' not only adds colour but also exudes a touch of sophistication with its graceful height and slender shape.
What makes Digitalis canariensis 'Bella' particularly appealing is its unique, foxglove-like flowers that add texture and drama to any planting scheme. It thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and enjoys a sunny or partially shaded spot, making it ideal for adding height to a flowerbed without overwhelming the space. This variety is perfect for those seeking a plant with the elegance of a foxglove, but with a bit more presence and personality. Digitalis canariensis 'Bella' is a hardy, low-maintenance shrub that requires minimal care but delivers maximum impact. With its striking flowers and manageable size, it's sure to become a standout feature in your garden.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
