Excelsior Foxgove

Excelsior strain is very tall and very nice..

I think I like this better than both the candy mountain the the Camelot im growing now.. partly because Im a sucker for tall plants.. some of these are close to 6 feet in height..

Its tall, deer resistant and cottage garden to the core =)..

Plus they are super easy to wintersow and grow well in my climate..

    I grew these a few years back and now they reseed all over the garden ;-) These are Hubs favorites.

    Lisa,

    They can be grown at woodlines, part shady and filterled light locations..

    Silverkelt,

    You absolutely made my day! I have a shade garden at the back of my property that I always intended for a reading nook on a hot summer's day, but it's so close to the property line that except for some trees, there's nothing I could plant for more privacy. Good dappled afternoon sun, I think this would fit perfectly. Even better if they reseed.
