I thought these were fox gloves when I transplanted

They appear to be a type of foxglove - any ideas please

 

Deffo foxglove but which one its too small for Gradiflora so dont know the variety

Normal purple foxgloves are Digitalis purpurea.
Yours are still Digitalis sp... but not the common one!
Maybe Digitalis lutea.

Must be free from a neighbours Archibald

 

Could be Digitalis lutea, "Fukushima"

 

Love it!

Off to find some seeds now...............

 

How'd you get on finding the seeds Lonk?

 

Funny that you mention it - I got distracted by a message from someone on another forum offering me seeds for;
Digitalis ferruguinea..............



and Digitalis obscura "Dusky Maid"






Should go well with the D.lanata that are germinating at the moment...............





and the D.parviflora too............

 

That Ferruginea looks a little rusty but nice

 

The D lutea selfseeds easily in my garden. I'd rather have the D ferruginea though. Or the the bog standard foxglove, that takes some beating.

 

I've got plenty of self-seeded foxgloves around the garden again this year, all purpurea,
but this one looks a little different to the rest.
It looks like a white/cream version of purpurea, but the flowers grow out from the stem almost horizontally rather than drooping down, and are more widely spaced. It's also rather shorter than purpurea, being only about 2ft tall.
So is this some kind of hybrid, or a completely different variety which has somehow appeared in my garden?

 

Could be a anyone of those Trunky but you often get quite a bit of natural variation with foxgloves I've often come across white and peach coloured ones on my travels
