Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot Lavender'
Foxglove
USDA Hardiness Zone 4-8
Textured green foliage with horizontal, tubular, lavender flowers with spotted throats. These are the first F1 hybrids and are prolific in their first year, even more in their second, producing a mass of secondary spikes as the main show starts to fade. This foxglove will tolerate sun. Hummingbirds love the flowers.
