Thinking of planting some, but am confused about the difference between 'normal' and 'excelsior' plus 'dalmation'. Does anyone know which are the best?
Whichever you like best! The "normal" ones are the wild ones or very similar, hybrids such as the Excelsior group tend to have bigger, fuller flower spikes and a wider range of colours. Personally I like the wild types best (particularly the white ones) because I think they look more graceful and less blowsy, but it's a preference not a judgement .
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I grow the white ones from seed each year. I like all of the foxgloves and let different colours grow elsewhere in the garden that self seed, but I keep to just the white ones in this border

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
