Delivery of bare root Foxgloves (Digitalis pupurea) as I didn't get round to sowing any seed last year. They make ideal 'gap fillers' to be dotted here and there. These are a year old and D. purpurea is biennial so should flower late spring/early summer. 

 I bought some excellent Geranium phaeum on the interweb last autumn from the same source (Tanya's Blooms). Also bare root they were healthy, hardy, outdoor grown, sufficiently mature to be planted with confidence. I'm sorry to say many garden centre plants are pampered polytunnel weaklings which immediately succumb to slugs in search of tender morsels.

 Her Foxgloves are equally good, excellent value at £21.64 for ten including delivery. In fact she included several more and an envelope of Foxglove seed plus some root divisions of Aster ericoides as a bonus! How good is that?!

 As I've noted before bare root seems to be enjoying something of a revival as a way for small scale growers to dispatch plants by parcel without the weight of pots.
