Description

A showstopper for shady corners and cottage garden borders, Digitalis ‘Illumination Cherry Brandy’ brings drama and elegance with its rich cherry-pink blooms edged in gold. Unlike traditional biennial foxgloves, this award-winning variety is a perennial, flowering for longer and returning reliably year after year.
