Digitalis ‘Carillon’ is a stunning perennial foxglove ideal for UK gardens, renowned for its graceful spires of tubular flowers and ecological benefits. It grows to approximately 90-120 cm in height, creating an impressive vertical accent in borders or woodland settings. Thriving in dappled shade to full sun, ‘Carillon’ prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.

From late spring to early summer, this variety bursts into bloom, showcasing exquisite trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, and white. These blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly gardens. To encourage continuous flowering, deadhead spent blooms regularly.

Low maintenance and relatively disease-resistant, ‘Carillon’ requires minimal pruning. Trim back any damaged or untidy foliage in early spring to promote new growth. Feed annually with a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy development and prolific flowering.

Choosing Digitalis ‘Carillon’ not only enhances your garden with its elegant floral display and architectural presence but also contributes to the conservation of pollinating insects. Its nectar-rich flowers provide a vital food source for bees, ensuring your garden plays a role in supporting biodiversity and ecological balance.
