Digitalis Purpurea ‘Candy Mountain’

Product Details

Rosy pink flowers encircle the tall, straight stems of this delectable Foxglove. The individual bell-shaped blooms of Digitalis purpurea ‘Candy Mountain’ face upwards, showing charming speckled throats irresistible to hummingbirds and gardeners alike. These large flower spikes are supported by thick stems that defy wind and rain.

The genus Digitalis comes from southern Europe and has some 20 species, mostly perennials. They grow either in sun or partial shade, which makes them ideal plants for woodland gardens. Some are biennial, and even the perennial forms tend to be short-lived, but their extravagant flowering more than compensates for this, and many will reseed themselves. Foxgloves are of easy culture and make excellent cut flowers if picked when the blooms are half open. But their real strength is as dramatic and richly colored vertical accents, a look that is impossible to duplicate with another genus.
