Description

One packet each of Foxglove purpurea Candy Mountain and Calendula officinalis Sherbet Fizz - both are World Exclusive.

Foxglove purpurea Candy Mountain

Totally unique as it is the first upward facing foxglove from seed. This unusual characteristic enables you, and the bees, to peep inside the stunning rose pink blooms and view their delightful freckled throats, which appear all the way around the stems.

These flower stems are so strong, sturdy and erect that in breeding trials Candy Mountain was given the nickname 'Viagra'!

Ideal for planting in drifts, creating a colourful display towards the middle or back of your perennial or cottage garden borders.

Height: 90-140cm (36-56 inches)

Calendula officinalis Sherbet Fizz

An easy to grow annual, specially selected for its striking colour combination. These unusual buff-coloured blooms also have intriguing darker red undersides on several layers of tightly packed petals, each tipped with red, creating a spectacular sherbet fizz effect as the blooms open.

Sown in drifts directly into borders they will make a stunning addition to your garden, as well as making an attractive cut flower.

Height: 40-45cm (16-18in).
