Das zeichnet Fingerhut Excelsior Mischung aus
Unlike many modern flower mixes, this traditional foxglove blend relies on the natural growth habit of Digitalis purpurea rather than compact breeding. The result is tall, graceful spires that sway in the breeze and attract pollinators, particularly bumblebees, to the garden.
Ideal for...
Gardeners who want a low-maintenance, self-seeding cottage garden display without the need for staking or intensive care. The mix suits cottage borders, wildflower meadows, and pollinator-friendly planting schemes where a natural, informal look is desired.
