If anyone watched the coverage of the Chelsea Flower Show, this was the orange 'foxglove' on Andy Sturgon's garden (he won 'Best in Show').
It's not totally hardy - one website says it will take -3C "but won't thank you for it" so I'm growing it in a large pot to bring under cover when winter arrives. Grows to 5 feet in dappled shade, sheltered from the hottest sun. I got this at the start of April so I'm ahead of the trend on this one!

I saw this for sale last year, thought it looked super, but read up about it, decided against it. There were several, not expensive, I expect twice the price since Chelsea.
