Digitalis purpurea ‘Apricot Beauty’


Foxglove

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.190.040


Often described as being “stately” when in bloom, Foxgloves produce enormous spires of large, dangling bells. Plants form a low rosette of coarse, hairy leaves in the first year, bursting into flower the second spring, then setting seed and usually dying. This selection features flowers of a soft apricot-pink shade. These perform best in a rich, moist soil. Allow plants to form seed, and they will often self-sow to produce future generations. New plants that form can be easily moved in their first season, while still small. At flowering time, plants may need to be staked. CAUTION: Toxic if eaten.
