Understanding Plant Options

Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:

Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements

Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This Foxglove thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for the strongest stems. In hotter climates, afternoon shade is beneficial to prevent the flowers from wilting, though too much shade will result in fewer flower spikes.
Soil: Aim for rich, moist, and well drained soil that is high in organic matter. If you have heavy clay, mix in some compost to improve drainage, as "wet feet" during the winter can lead to root rot.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Camelot Lavender Foxglove twice a week to ensure the root system establishes deeply. Once mature, these plants are moderately drought tolerant, but inconsistent watering during the summer will cause the lower leaves to yellow and the bloom spikes to stunt. Aim for deep soakings at the base of the plant rather than overhead misting to keep the foliage dry and healthy.

Pruning Tips

Camelot Lavender is unique because it is a biennial that often acts like a perennial by blooming the first year, and it responds well to deadheading. Once the central flower spike fades, cut it back to the base to encourage smaller side shoots to develop and bloom. If you want the plant to self seed for future generations, leave the last few spent flower stalks of the season in place until the pods open and drop their seeds.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring just as new growth begins to emerge. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer, as this encourages soft, lush growth that is easily damaged by the first frost. A light mulch of compost around the base of the plant each spring provides a steady diet of nutrients while helping to keep the roots cool.

Speckled with Spunk Camelot Lavender Foxglove

Blooms Encircle the Entire Stem
Speckled Lavender Flower Spikes
Deer and Rabbit Resistant
Great For Borders Or Beds

Camelot Lavender Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot Lavender') is a hybrid Foxglove with large, pendulous, lavender flowers with dark-burgundy interior speckles. Unlike other Foxglove, the 'Camelot' series forms flowers all the way around the sturdy flower’s stalks, instead of just on one side!

These uniform plants create high quality flower spikes in a rich carousel of color as the speckled, jewel-like blooms open all around the stout stems, giving more impact than ever before!

Blooming in early to mid-Summer, the Camelot Lavender Foxglove is a must-have in most any garden, attracting butterflies, birds, and other beneficial pollinators. Plus, it is both deer and rabbit resistant.

Camelot Lavender Foxglove will typically do best in partial sun. Full sun exposure is recommended with afternoon shade in northern regions. It's widely adaptable to different soil types, but performs their best in rich, moist soils.

Although Foxglove are considered a biennial which often makes it undependable in perennial planting, this one many times will bloom in the first season. Quickly removing the old flower stems will allow for more flowers the next year.

Try planting them in woodland gardens, as border plants, or a backdrop for other petite perennials. Harvest some to bring indoors, as they make extraordinary cut flowers for a unique arrangement.

Remember to leave some dead flower stalks to self-sow for future flowers. (Just a quick reminder, all parts of Camelot Lavender Foxglove are poisonous if ingested and can be invasive).

Don’t wait too long to order the Camelot Lavender, or you might find yourself having to wait until next year to enjoy this beautiful Foxglove.
