Digitalis ‘Goldcrest' is a hybrid between Digitalis obscura and Digitalis grandiflora. It has large, trumpet-shaped blooms in warm yellow and pink, with dark speckling in the throats. Sterile, it doesn’t bear seeds and therefore flowers continuously throughout summer. It’s perfect for growing in a mixed herbaceous border or as part of a container display.

Grow Digitalis ‘Goldcrest' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Deadhead spent blooms and feed fortnightly with a potash-rich fertiliser.
