Digiplexis ‘Berry Canary’

This breakthrough cross between Isoplexis and Digitalis carries large pink trumpets, each with a cream throat speckled with burgundy, on strong, densely packed 90cm-tall stems. It will flower longer than each of its parents and is happy in any sunny or lightly shaded spot which doesn’t parch during summer.

Digiplexis have done very well here at Lambley in a north facing border, although they would be just as happy in a little light shade. Whilst needing regular summer watering they are tough and, in our experience, problem-free. They are frost-hardy in most if not all Australian gardens. Last year in our own garden they were in flower from late spring until mid-autumn. 80-90cm high by 50-60cm across.
