Panther Foxglove

Go ahead and pamper both yourself and your garden with the indulgent beauty of the Panther Foxglove (Digitalis x 'Panther')! Such opulent blooms take the spotlight every year and add height, color and beauty to your garden's beds, borders and planters!

Tall flower spikes of soft pinkish-purple to rose-pink, trumpet-shaped blooms fill the ascending stems, each with scalloped edges and throats bespeckled with darker purple spots and white accents. Opening from the bottom to the top of the flower stems in succession, you’ll enjoy an incredibly long bloom time!

You’ll also enjoy the many hummingbirds, bees and butterflies that will flutter around your Foxglove! The sight of a fat bumblebee trying to squeeze into these long flowers is among a gardener's simple pleasures!

Rising from a rosette of deep-green foliage with quilted texture and scalloped, wavy edges. These tall, narrow, and heavily branched plants, work as thrillers and specimen plants throughout the garden.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Foxglove is a hardy perennial in USDA zones 6-9 and a biennial or annual in cooler zones.

Preferring the full sun and partial shade, especially some afternoon shade in the hottest of its preferred hardiness zones.

Plant in fertile, enriched soil that is well-drained. Not particular on soil type, any soil that holds moisture but doesn’t become overly soggy after rain will due. Even tolerating coastal conditions, these are very adaptable plants!

Water consistently as Foxglove requires a moderate amount of moisture access and does not like to dry out. Provide a well-mulched area to help retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.

Blooming in late spring through summer, you can deadhead to encourage a few more blooms. Clean up dead leaves and debris in late fall when these die back for the winter. Seldom damaged by deer or rabbits, these are very easy-going plants!

So go ahead and pamper yourself with a little luxury and Panther Foxglove is just the indulgent bloom for the job! Order your summer garden treats at NatureHills.com today!
