Digitalis purpurea ‘Camelot’ mixture
Plant number: 1.190.090
This is a unique selection of Foxglove, bearing tall spikes of bell-like flowers in a mixture of white, rose, lavender and pink, often with contrasting spots. Unlike other types, ‘Camelot’ Foxgloves flower in both the first and second year before eventually setting seed and dying. Deadhead first-year blooms to encourage overwintering. These perform best in a rich, moist soil. Allow plants to form seed in the second year and they may self-sow to produce future generations. New seedlings that appear can be easily moved in their first season, while still small. Plants may need to be staked. CAUTION: Toxic if eaten.
