Foxglove - Digitalis purpurea "Apricot Delight"

Digitalis purpurea "Apricot Beauty" / "Apricot Delight"

This excellent variety produces long stems in a soft apricot colour.
Foxglove is the cottage garden plant par excellence! But also a good cut flower for impressive bouquets.

Foxgloves are sown from June to September. Plant out at the intended location before winter.
The seed needs light to germinate so do not cover with soil. It takes between 14-21 days for germination.
This is a biennial plant, so in the first year it produces the leaf rosettes and in the second year in spring it produces the flower stems.

Caution! The entire plant (and seed) of the digitalis is poisonous. Wear gloves when harvesting. A real treat for bumblebees and bees. Can handle both shade and sun.
