Description

I fell on this collection of foxgloves in our trial last summer, picking them and loving them jumbled in a jug inside as well as growing in the garden. The Dalmatian series is an F1 type, consistently long-flowering, even in its first year.

If you remove the first year spent flower stems by trimming back to the base of the plant, this will aid overwintering and encourage a second year of bloom. Allow plants to form seed in the second year and they may self-sow to continue the cycle in your garden.

The seed packet contains a mix of the following varieties and the seedling collection contains 1 jumbo seedling each of:
  • Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian Peach' F1 Hybrid
  • Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian Purple' F1 Hybrid
  • Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian Cream' F1 Hybrid
  • Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian Rose' F1 Hybrid
  • Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian White' F1 Hybrid

Care Tips

Remove the first flower spike early to encourage more 'prince' flowers from the base. May require protection from severe frost. Caution: All parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested.
