Astelia banksii


Astelia banksii

Have been looking for an architectural plant,not too large to place infront of the silver Birch trunk.Hoping to plant white foxgloves around the base of the pot.

Perfect colour and a good size plant J. Will be lovely with the white foxgloves!

I like the silver sheen on the leaves. Sounds nice with white foxgloves - very Chelsea!

Ah, the old 'mixed' blessing! ;) Hope you get 'lucky'. I bought individual plants of the ones I wanted this year...Digitalis lanata and Digitalis ferruginea....I'm hopeful that they will be good, they are looking healthy enough, in spite of the horrid weather, and their foliage is much prettier than the ordinary foxglove's.

Meadow I dont have any white foxgloves but Ill look out for some seed for you so you can have hundreds next year. They would look beautiful planted en masse. Ive grown Candy mountain and mertonensis this year. There may be a few white ones in the candy mountain batch. They would be gorg with the astelia.
