Digitalis purpurea (Foxglove)
Color Name: Dalmatian Peach
The flowers of Dalmatian Peach open a pretty shade of pinkish peach and then lighten to a soft peach color with tiny orange speckled throats. The basal foliage forms a compact clump and the plants are well-branched.
Digitalis forms large rosettes of downy, green, oblong leaves from which numerous flower spikes emerge. It looks especially nice when planted along fences, at the wood's edge, or in large containers.
Growing Tips: Foxglove prefers acidic, moist, well-drained soil that is enriched with humus. Keeping this plant watered will result in better flowering and healthier foliage. In most climates, partial shade is best, though it will grow in full sun in northern regions.
Propagation is recommended by letting the plant self-seed and using the resulting plantlets. It may also be grown from seed.
