Isoplexis canariensis - 2016

Isoplexis canariensis - 2016 (Isoplexis canariensis)

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.
