Digitalis valinii ‘Rising Phoenix’ A Bold, Perennial Foxglove Hybrid

Rich Copper-Red Blooms with a Long Flowering Season

Digitalis valinii ‘Rising Phoenix’is a striking perennial foxglove hybrid, producing tall spires of coppery red flowers with golden-apricot throats from early summer to autumn. Unlike traditional biennial foxgloves, ‘Rising Phoenix’reliably returns each year, offering a long-lasting display that adds height, warmth, and vibrancy to borders and mixed plantings.

Bred for its strong, upright stems and robust, compact growth habit, this variety thrives in UK gardens, standing up well to wind and weather. The tubular flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Its semi-evergreen foliage ensures interest beyond the flowering season, and its drought tolerance makes it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.
