About This

• EXCELSIOR FOXGLOVE - MONUMENTAL GOTHIC SPIRES WITH GRAPHIC SPOTTED THROATS - MAXIMUM VERTICAL OF MEGA-DECORATIVE DECORATIONS. FLORAL BELL TOWERS OF VICTORIAN GARDENS. Flawless chemical-free, non-GMO heirloom seeds from an American brand. Certified for parameters of genetic stability, freshness, germination, viability. Comfort zone for zones 3-9.
• ARCHITECTURAL DARING. Vertical towers up to 6 feet tall + volumetric contrasting graphics of nature in HD quality + horizontal orientation of tightly packed bells + blooming of colossal strength lasting for months + spotted trap-throat + magnetic attractiveness to bumblebees + shade tolerance - qualities of a premium variety. A status symbol of a prize-winner belonging to the garden elite.
• DUSTED FRESCOES CAME ALIVE AND GREW. Victorian icon of garden design. Gothic columns painted from the inside with natural dot graphics. Displayed open throats produce a mass impression effect. Concentrate of decorativeness in vertical format. Apex point - a continuous trail of dozens of bells.
• HORIZONTAL ORIENTATION AGAINST GRAVITY. Up to 80 inflorescences on a single spire are arranged in a spiral around the stem. The bells are oriented perpendicular to the stem - a 90-degree turn shows them in all their glory. Blooming proceeds sequentially from bottom to top by a slow escalator - continuous decorativeness.
• SPOTTED ESSENCE. Effect of theatrical presentation - a hypnotic spectacle inside each bell with a diameter of 3 inches - a widely open throat with a spotted trap-throat. The throat is strewn with contrasting freckled spots forming a dotted path to the nectary. Tactile pubescent texture for guiding the bumblebee inside.
• PALETTE OF ANCIENT FRESCOES - MUTED TONES OF ARISTOCRATIC GARDENS. This is a play of colors with smooth modulations: Almost white - the lightest in the palette. Cream-white with purple speckles - ivory color with traces of wine spots. Tender pink with a crimson throat - a complex, multilayered color. Apricot-peach color with brown speckles. Lavender-lilac with purple spots. The petals have a slight wax coating - matte texture. Rain does not damage - wax coating repels water.
• NOT A FRAGILE PEDUNCLE, BUT A LOAD-BEARING COLUMN. The stem is strong, with woody density at the base. It holds up confidently without support. In open areas, staking is possible due to the windage of the inflorescence. Large, lanceolate, grayish-green, velvety leaves form a decorative cushion. After cutting the central flower spike, side shoots produce a second wave of flowering on lower stems.
• EXCLUSIVE POLLINATION CONTRACT - MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL COOPERATION. The pollination mechanism works like clockwork - the Excelsior landing platform is created for the anatomy of a bumblebee. A bunch of free tables in a Michelin-starred bumblebee restaurant waiting for visitors. The forage base of a single flower spike is a continuous work cycle. Bumblebees, in turn, pollinate garden crops - tomatoes, peppers, eggplants.
• COTTAGE CLASSIC. For those who love scale. The dominant Excelsior up to 6 feet creates vertical accents of incredible strength - a full-fledged decoration. Monochrome compositions fill free niches with quiet persistence.
• BOUQUET FROM A SINGLE FOXGLOVE - A single stem replaces an entire bouquet - this load-bearing structure requires no additions. Cut in the semi-bud phase, Excelsior opens in a vase for a long time as if it didn't notice it was cut. SURVIVES WITH NEGLECT. On any unoccupied soil - sowed, thinned, forgot. Excelsior breaks the full sun rule, thriving in shade. For problematic shady zones where plant choice is limited. Pests are absent - toxicity as a protective asset.
