Digitalis purpurea ‘Primrose Carousel’


Foxglove

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.190.270


This is a unique selection of Foxglove, bearing spikes of soft primrose-yellow bells, each spotted inside with maroon purple. 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. 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. This compact selection should not need to be staked. CAUTION: Toxic if eaten.
