foxglove milky chocolate

im not sure Neena. someone on here will know what they are

The leaves do look very similar to those of Rudbeckia. And there is a variety called "Chocolate Orange" (but they are treated as annuals). Definitely not Chocolate Cosmos, though. Did you buy them just recently?

I knew David would be onto "something chocolate" ..lol.

Thanks Eileen and David they look healthy I only bought them on Saturday David along with lots of foxgloves and thought these were too until I got them home and looked more closely at the leaves! the stall holder said they were chocolate. I think I must have misunderstood-well it was busy and there was a jazz band playing that's my excuse!
Ah was that it TT :o))

Sorry Neellan I am not sure but they do look a little like Rudbeckia leaves.

Umm my Rudbeckia leaves are broader and a firmer texture but I don't know the annual one that David mentions thanks for looking :o))

Problem solved it is Digitalis parviflora - milk chocolate I traced the stall holder this morning so was delighted to have the problem solved they grow to 36" with lots of little flower up the stem lovely colour too

Well done on your research :o)
Those will be a nice addition to your garden...

they are going to look brilliant next year Neena

Thanks TT and Eileen yes they are a really striking plant I looked them up on Thompson and Morgan site once I had the name

Oh - am very envious, LOL! :-))

Aw sorry David just stumbled on them at my village fete perhaps you'll be as lucky :o))

I do have seed, however. :-))

Ah good you will have loads for the spring get planting start David's chocolate factory!

I've had "Chocolate Foxglove" growing in a pot for about 5 or 6 years now....and it's never flowered :((( Hope yours does better for you Neellan...

Oh no! :o(( I hope so too I bought three lots white ones with dark spots a yellow one and these. Foxgloves like a woodland setting so I'm hopeful that they'll do well I love them so fingers crossed and maybe yours will suprise you next year! :o))

Hope so Neellan :) Mine just give me lots of glossy foliage....then the slugs nibble 'em :((

oh no poor you poor chocolate foxglove :o((
