Product Description
Digitalis purpurea 'Candy Mountain' (30)ct Flat
Common Name: Common Foxglove
A rare first! 'Candy Mountain' is the first foxglove ever to have upward-facing flowers instead of the usual downward-facing ones. With this new angle, viewers can easily see the beautifully speckled throats of these rose pink blossoms. They are produced on very strong, strictly upright stems in early summer. This variety is a biennial.
Digitalis forms large rosettes of downy, green, oblong leaves from which numerous flower spikes emerge. It looks especially nice when planted along fences, at the wood's edge, or in large containers.
Foxglove prefers acidic, moist, well-drained soil that is enriched with humus. Keeping this plant watered will result in better flowering and healthier foliage. In most climates, partial shade is best, though it will grow in full sun in northern regions.
Propagation is recommended by letting the plant self-seed and using the resulting plantlets. It may also be grown from seed.
Attracts hummingbirds. Deer and Rabbit resistant.
