Bees, Flowers, Garden Centres, Planting Out

Cosmos and Digitalis (Foxglove)

Posted by Andrew on

This weekend I bought some plants for my garden.

This is slightly unusual as so far I have just grown them from cuttings or from seeds, but I fell in love with the beautiful Cosmos at my local Twenty Pence Garden Centre and they were on a 3 for 2 offer.

The pink Cosmos flowers add a burst of colour.

Then today, whilst in Tesco, I spotted that they were selling Digitalis ‘Primrose Carousel’ (better known as Foxglove) for £3. Whilst Foxgloves are toxic, they are very popular amongst bees, and this is something that I am passionate in encouraging into the garden.

I've been growing things since I was about 5 years old. Now I'm an adult, I'm sowing, nurturing, harvesting and enjoying the blooms in my own gardens.
