Digitalis 'Dalmatian Rose' Foxglove

Digitalis 'Dalmatian Rose' Foxglove is an upright perennial that flowers in its first year, producing rose pink blooms on strong, upright spikes from late spring into midsummer. The well branched plants have compact foliage and reach about 20 inches tall and 14 inches wide, giving you classic foxglove spires in a manageable size.

'Dalmatian Rose' is a favorite for cut flowers and spring bouquets, and it performs well in larger containers. Bees, hummingbirds, and birds visit the flowers, while deer and rabbits tend to leave it alone. Plant it in groups for a strong vertical accent in beds and borders. Please note that all parts of foxglove are toxic if ingested, so site it with care around children and pets.

Grow in full sun to part shade with medium water needs and average to moist soil; it tolerates clay and acidic soil. Hardy in Zones 5 to 9. Deadhead first year flower stems to help plants overwinter and bloom again the second year. If allowed to set seed, it will self sow. The wild species is native to the UK and naturalized in the U.S. First year blooms on sturdy spikes make 'Dalmatian Rose' a quick, rewarding choice for gardeners who want foxgloves without the wait.
