Planting & Care

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.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does foxglove bloom?

Foxglove typically blooms from early to mid-summer for 6-8 weeks. The Camelot Rose variety produces secondary flower spikes that extend blooming well into summer when deadheaded. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage continued flowering and leave some stalks to self-sow for next year's display.

How often should I water my Camelot Rose Foxglove and what are its moisture requirements?

Camelot Rose Foxglove prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil but tolerates some drought once established. Water deeply when the top inch of soil feels dry, typically 1-2 times per week. Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal issues on the fuzzy foliage.

Is Camelot Rose Foxglove a fast-growing or slow-growing plant?

Camellia Rose Foxglove is a moderate grower that establishes quickly from seed or transplant. This hybrid blooms in its first year and produces secondary flower spikes throughout summer when deadheaded. Allow some stalks to go to seed for natural reseeding next season.

What shade of pink/rose are the flowers on this foxglove variety?

The Camelot Rose foxglove produces large rose-pink flowers adorned with distinctive dark burgundy speckles. These pendulous blooms form all around the sturdy flower stalks rather than just on one side. The speckled rose-pink coloring makes them excellent for cut flower arrangements.

Is Camelot Rose Foxglove deer resistant or will deer eat it?

Camellia Rose Foxglove is deer resistant due to its toxic compounds that naturally repel browsing animals. All parts of Digitalis contain poisonous alkaloids that deer typically avoid. Plant this speckled rose-pink perennial in your garden borders with confidence, available at naturehills.com.

How much fertilizer does Camelot Rose Foxglove need and how often should I feed it?

Camelot Rose Foxglove thrives with minimal feeding, requiring only light fertilization in spring. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied once in early spring is sufficient for healthy growth and abundant blooms. Avoid over-fertilizing, as rich soils can reduce flowering and make plants leggy.

Will Camelot Rose Foxglove self-seed and spread in my garden?

Yes, Camelot Rose Foxglove will self-seed if you leave some spent flower stalks in place after blooming. This variety can spread and naturalize in your garden, though note that it may become invasive in some areas. Leave a few deadheads standing to collect seed for next year's plants.

Do I need to deadhead the spent flowers or provide any special winter care?

Deadheading spent blooms encourages secondary flower spikes and extends blooming well into summer. However, leave some dead flower stalks in fall to allow self-seeding for next year's display. No special winter care is needed for this hardy perennial.
