Foxglove 'Dalmatian Rose'

Add a splash of early-season purple with Dalmation Rose foxglove (Digitalis purpurea ‘Dalmation Rose’). This vigorous variety blooms from late spring into mid-summer on 60–120 cm spires of tubular, rosy-lavender flowers. Ideal for borders, cottage beds or containers, it thrives in full sun or part shade and average to moist soils. Pollinators adore it—bees, hummingbirds and songbirds all visit—yet its foliage is typically ignored by deer and rabbits. Plus, those tall flower stalks make gorgeous, long-lasting cut blooms.
