Delphinium elatum
(del-FIN-ee-um)
4-5' h x 1.5' w | Zones 3-7

petals brushed with violet, has
added advantages over modern
types. Only in windy sites do
they need staking, and they are

phlox and roses for an
old-fashioned romantic garden.

H. Foxglove--Rusty 'Gigantea'
Digitalis ferruginea (di-ji-TAY-lis)
3-5' h x 1-1.5' w | Zones 4-8 | Self sows
Gaudy flowers demand
our attention, but this
subtle hued flower wins us over with its
quiet, winning ways. Elegant spires rise
from a neat foliage rosette, and are
arrayed with row upon row of amber
bells, each marked with a tracery of
brown. A trouble free, robust grower,
wonderful in humus rich soil at the back
of the border, or at the woodland gar-
den's edge. A summer bloomer, deadhead
most but leave a stalk to drop seeds.
