Planting & Care Instructions

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Plant your Camelot Rose Foxglove in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. While it thrives with 6 or more hours of direct sun, afternoon shade is beneficial in hotter climates to keep the blooms from wilting and preserve the deep rose color.
  • Soil: These plants prefer rich, moist, and well-draining soil. If you have heavy clay that stays soggy, mix in organic compost or peat moss to improve drainage because Foxgloves are prone to crown rot in standing water.

Watering Requirements

During the first growing season, water your Foxglove two to three times per week to help the root system get established. Once mature, these plants are moderately drought tolerant, but inconsistent watering during the heat of summer will lead to smaller flower spikes and scorched leaf edges. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist like a wrung out sponge for the best floral display.

Pruning Tips

Camelot Rose Foxglove is a biennial that often behaves like a short lived perennial, blooming on wood produced the previous year. After the first flush of flowers fades, cut the central spike down to the base to encourage side shoots to develop and bloom. If you want the plant to self-seed for next year, leave the last flower stalks of the season alone so they can drop their seeds naturally.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring as new growth appears to fuel the energy intensive blooming process. Avoid using high nitrogen fertilizers late in the summer because this encourages soft, leafy growth that is easily damaged by the first winter frost. Think of fertilizer as a vitamin boost that helps the plant build the strength needed to hold up those heavy, bell shaped flower towers.

Burgundy Speckles Around the Stalk

Foxglove Camelot Rose, Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot Rose', is a new hybrid foxflove with large pendulous rose-pink flowers with dark burgundy speckles.

The 'Camelot' series forms flowers all the way around the sturdy flowers stalks, instead of just on one side!

Numerous secondary flower spikes extend the bloom time well into summer if plants are deadheaded.

When not in bloom, enjoy the large rosettes of fuzzy green leaves.

Digitalis should be planted in full sun but will tolerate morning shade.

It blooms early to mid summer. In most climates, partial shade is best, though it will grow in full sun in northern regions.

Try planting it in woodland gardens, as a border plant or for cut-flowers. Remember to leave some dead flower stalks to self sow for future flowers. Being a major attraction to bees, butterflies and birds, it is a must in any garden. (All parts of Digitals are poisonous if ingested and can be invasive).
