Digitalis plant named ‘Wedding Bells’

Abstract

The new and distinct cultivar of Digitalis plant named ‘Wedding Bells’, is characterized by its peloric flower form, unique dwarf habit, prolific and repeat flowering capabilities. Its generous-sized white flowers provide a strong colour contrast with the yellow buds and together with the grey-green foliage and silver stems, create an eye catching novelty. The combination of these characteristics, together with its heat and drought resistance, establish this cultivar as one well-suited to ornamental horticultural use such as patio gardening and pot culture.
