Digitalis
'Lucas White'
foxglove
Digitalis 'Lucas White' is a beautifully serene foxglove, bringing clean vertical lines and luminous white flowers to borders from early summer into autumn. Its dark-green, wrinkled and toothed leaves form a tidy, textural clump, from which rise elegant stems of tubular pure white blooms. There is something wonderfully fresh about Digitalis 'Lucas White', particularly in planting schemes where softer colours need a little lift. It has the classic foxglove presence, tall, graceful and quietly theatrical, but with a crisp simplicity that feels especially refined.
Use Digitalis 'Lucas White' to add light to dappled shade, soften the edge of a woodland border or bring a cool note to a sunny cottage garden. It works beautifully with ferns, hostas, campanulas, roses and blue-flowered perennials, where its white spires act like punctuation marks among the foliage. The long flowering season makes Digitalis 'Lucas White' a particularly useful choice for extending interest beyond the first flush of summer. Plant it in small groups for a natural rhythm, or repeat it through a border for a more polished effect. Elegant, versatile and never showy, Digitalis 'Lucas White' proves that restraint can be rather captivating.

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.
