Digitalis 'Arctic Fox' Lemon Cream is a stunning cultivar of the common foxglove plant. It features tall spikes covered in creamy lemon-yellow bell-shaped flowers that bloom in the late spring and early summer. This variety of foxglove is more compact and bushy than the wild species, growing to only about 2 feet tall. The flowers are held in dense clusters and have a soft, fuzzy texture. 'Arctic Fox' Lemon Cream does best in partial shade and well-drained soil, and its bright yellow color makes it a beautiful addition to shady garden beds and borders. Hummingbirds and other pollinators are attracted to the nectar-rich blooms.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
