Hosta and Digitalis

Guernsey Donkey2

Having watched the Gardeners World programme last night, I was particularly interested in the Hosta Mini Skirt and the Digitalis Firebird.  Has anyone grown either of these plants and would you recommend them.  How large does the Hosta grow?  The Digitalis was said to be perennial, is this so?

Lyn

I haven’t got either but I have heard that the perennial foxgloves don’t always survive the winter, but they could do where you live.
I’ll flag up @Hostafan1.  I wonder if he’s got a Mini skirt ,  he’s got a couple of hundred different ones.

I don't grow many small varieties , so have personal experience of it.

And I always thought Hostafan was a female - why I don't know.  I don't know how to flag up members on here, so perhaps HE will read your comment, thanks Lyn.

Gd, just do the @then the name,  @Hostafan1 is a lovely big burly Scotsman, you would love him.

@Guernsey Donkey2   If you type @ followed by the name, they get a notification that they've been mentioned.

@Lyn Thanks and also @Hostafan1 thank you for the helpful info and the link which I have now read, really helpful, I will give the Garden Centre a ring soon.

They don’t appear in red until you post the comment. 
I expect you can see that now. 🙂

I can recommend Fransen Hostas delivery service. Very carefully packed.
