Digitalis purpurea Dalmatian Purple 1G

(Foxglove)

Sturdy, relatively compact foxglove with spires of purple bells heavily spotted inside, flowering early compared to many traditional strains. Frequently grown as a biennial or short-lived perennial, but often self-seeds lightly in favorable sites. Best in partial shade or cool morning sun with moist, well-drained soils and should be kept away from small children and pets due to toxicity.
