Description

Digitalis 'Hanabee White' is a striking new compact foxglove with a fuller, more floriferous habit than many traditional varieties. Instead of producing a single flower spike, it branches naturally from the base to create multiple stems of elegant white flowers from one plant, giving a far more generous display through the season.

Its compact habit, reaching around 50cm tall, makes it especially useful for pots, patio containers, raised beds and border planting, where a standard foxglove might simply be too large. The pure white flowers bring freshness and brightness to the garden, while the multi-stemmed form gives the plant a fuller, more rounded appearance.

This variety has already won the FleuroStar Award 2025 for outstanding visual impact. Easy to grow and fully hardy through UK winter conditions, it thrives in moist, well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. It is also highly attractive to bees, making it a rewarding choice for wildlife-friendly gardens as well as ornamental planting.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready to plant.

Top Tips

Faded flowers can be cut to the base to encourage a further flush of blooms

Care Information

Best grown in light shade in fertile soil
Before planting, prepare the soil by digging over and removing any weeds. Incorporate some well-rotted manure to enrich the soil if necessary.
Individually knock out each plant from its container. Look at the roots - if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the rootball along the bottom edge and pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil.
Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep and wide enough to set in the rootball.
The aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground.
Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps and your heel on larger areas.
Water in well to settle the soil and prevent desiccation.
