Digitalis mertonensis (strawberry foxglove) bears tall spires of dusky rose-pink, bell-shaped flowers in early to midsummer, highly attractive to bees. Forming a rosette of green leaves, it thrives in sun or light shade in moist but well-drained, moderately fertile soil. A classic choice for cottage-style borders and naturalistic planting, it typically reaches around 11.2m tall and about 50cm wide; remove spent spikes to keep plants tidy and allow some seed to maintain future displays.
