Digitalis purpurea ‘Sutton's Apricot' - 3 x 9cm plants - Digitalis purpurea 'Suttons Apricot' is lovely soft pink foxglove which flowers at the same time and looks beautiful with peonies in June. This is one of my absolute favourite plants. Bees and butterflies love them too.Foxgloves make some of the very best cottage garden early summer garden plants and cut flowers. If you pick the king flower – the
main spire, you create lots of prince flowers and the plants will then go on flowering for longer.
