This evergreen Digitalis canariensis (Canary Island foxglove, Isoplexis canariensis) survived the winter with the protection of an unheated glasshouse. Although capable of surviving a temperature as low as -4C, it is best to avoid freezing temperatures wherever possible and to use a free draining compost.

Isoplexis canariensis (Canary Island foxglove) is ideally grown in a container so that it can have winter protection in most areas of Britain. This evergreen perennial foxglove has tawny apricot flowers with pointed petals and glossy dark green leaves with dark stems. It is borderline hardy, and prefers good light but with some dappled shade.
