Digitalis purpurea 'Meadows Mix'
Foxgloves are a striking biennial or short-lived perennial admired for their tall spires of soft peach-colored, bell-shaped flowers delicately speckled within their throats. Grown from seed collected from a 'Dalmatian Peach' foxglove, each plant may display subtle variations in flower color and pattern, making every bloom uniquely beautiful. Flowering from late spring into early summer, foxgloves attract hummingbirds, bumblebees, and other pollinators while adding elegant vertical interest to cottage gardens, woodland borders, and shaded landscapes. Some prefer to deadhead the spent stalks to prevent unwanted spreading.

Why I Grow It
Why I Grow It
I grow these foxgloves from seed collected from my own 'Dalmatian Peach' plants because every seedling has the potential to produce its own beautiful combination of peach, cream, blush, and rose-toned blooms. Rather than offering cloned plants, each foxglove is unique while retaining the elegant character that made the original 'Dalmatian Peach' variety so desirable. Their towering flower spikes, exceptional pollinator value, and timeless cottage-garden charm make them one of my favorite plants to grow.
Care Tips
Care Tips
Plant in rich, well-drained soil with consistent moisture during establishment.
Provide afternoon shade in hot summer climates to prolong flowering.
Remove spent flower spikes if self-seeding is not desired, or allow some to mature for volunteer seedlings.
Water during prolonged dry periods, especially while plants are actively growing.
All parts of the plant are poisonous if ingested; plant where children and pets are unlikely to consume the foliage or flowers.
