Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian Peach' is a common foxglove loved by hummingbirds and pollinators alike for its soaring spikes of pendulous, funnel-shaped flowers that bloom profusely from early to mid summer. An award-winner, this cultivar displays flowers in soft peach tones with orange speckled throats with a more compact habit of 16-20 inches tall by 12-14 inches wide. The spires branch well into multiple spires atop low-growing downy, green oblong leaves. Very easy to grow in beds and borders and awesome in drifts. Requires well-drained soil and average to medium moisture. Deer and rabbit tolerant. A biennial or short-lived perennial that will often reseed.

I was thrilled to see how quickly these lovely new hybrid Foxgloves bloomed in my garden – in a month or two depending on weather! Much better than waiting until year 2. And, they repeat bloom whether you snip them for the vase or after the spikes are spent … nice! Romantic nodding soft apricot-peach flowers glow on multiple 2’-30” spikes (perfect for cutting), bringing charm and vertical accents to cottage gardens, shade gardens, along your entryway or in large containers. Clay tolerant but best in rich soil. Deer and rabbit resistant! Attracts bees, butterflies and hummers! Grown from seed so colors may be slightly variable.
