Digitalis 'Illumination Pink'

Thought to be an impossible hybridisation, this is the most spectacular foxglove you will have ever seen! Parentage from the little-known Isoplexis (Canary Island Foxglove) gives this exciting new Digitalis its fabulous tropical colouring. Being completely sterile Foxglove ‘Illumination’ won’t set seed, giving it an incredibly long flowering period. Unlike most foxgloves which are generally biennial, this hardy semi-evergreen is a true perennial so you will be able to enjoy its flowers for years to come. The exotic looking blooms are densely packed on sturdy stems, with many side branches, making a striking addition to summer borders. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 45cm (18").

Alstroemeria ?Butterfly Hybrids?

Alstroemeria 'Butterfly Hybrids' - Part of the Alan Titchmarsh Collection

Peruvian Lily
 
  • WORLD EXCLUSIVE
An old strain of Peruvian lilies called the ‘Ligtu Hybrids’ included some great purples, but over the years these got lost. Now only the pinks and purples have been selected to create this eye-catching mix. Your plants will be smothered with butterflies from the moment the blooms open. One of the easiest cut flowers to grow and definitely one of the most impressive. Height and spread: 60cm (24”).
Alan Titchmarsh

Alan Titchmarsh says...

"You should pull the stems of Peruvian lilies rather than cutting them. It encourages flowering for up to 6 months."
