Digitalis is a genus of plants containing 22 species of biennials, and short lived perennials.  These plants are found from
Europe to North West Africa and all the way to Central Asia.  This genus is cultivated for their tall spikes of tubular
flowers.

The Parent Species of the Plants We Offer:
Digitalis grandiflora is a short lived perennial(3-4 years) that has glossy leaves and yellow tubular flowers.  Blooms
in mid-summer upon strong flowering stalks, and  grows up to three feet tall with an eighteen inch spread at maturity.  
From the southern Europe region (Siberia, Turkey).

Digitalis parviflora is a clump forming perennial that produces dense racemes of dark orange-brown flowers, in early
summer.  These plants reach two feet in height and are up twelve inches across.  This species is a native to Northern
Spain.

Digitalis purpurea is a rosette forming biennial or short lived perennial.  Long mid to deep green leaves are hairy, lax,
lance-shaped, and up to 10" in length.  The foliage gives way to the tall spikes of pink, purple, or white flowers up to
2.5" long in early summer.  Native to southwest and west central Europe.

GROWING TIPS
Plant in a well-drained soil with a good organic matter content, and at a pH range of 6.0 - 7.0.  Foxgloves prefer partially
shaded to full sun locations.   Make sure to keep a constant soil moisture when plants are in bloom to elongate the
blooming period.  Foxgloves readily self seed and are great additions to the herbaceous border.
