. They have wandered across from the planting of pure white foxgloves in the white wood. One of these roaming foxgloves is white with a cerise pink centre. These beautiful biennials will seed freely in the right position and although they are mainly recognised from the hedgerows they are actually woodland plants. Their elegant form is a real favorite here and adds grace to the planting.
