Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Choice cultivar of foxglove, 3-4' tall spires of white with deep burgundy, spotted throats in May and June really stand out! Moist, organic soils are best but will tolerate less favorable sites…morning sun, bright shade, part shade. Vigorous grower that tends to be more perennial than biennial IF the stalks are cut before they go to seed.

A thrilling, focal point for your cottagey garden! This fabulous “Foxglove” comes true from seed. Long lasting 3-4’ spikes of maroon-throated, ginormous (.75”-1.5” long) white bells open from the bottom up. Blooms late Spring through early Summer & makes a fab cut flower! Deadhead to encourage more blooms. ‘Pam’s Choice’ self-sows, but may not produce the same flower color if there are other Digitalis buddies in your neighborhood to cross-pollinate with. To 2’ wide. Snail proof & deer resistant!
