A bee's best friend
Want to attract more bees and butterflies to your garden? The foxglove is perfect for that! Bees feel completely at home in the many flowers of the plant. Foxglove blooms have pink and black spots, which is where the name 'Pink Panther' comes from. It is also hardy, so it is guaranteed to return next year. Plant it in the border or in a pot in the garden. It will flower from June to July.
Your green dazzler will grow best in the partial shade or sun.
Tip: Plant the foxglove at the back of the garden as the flower stems can reach up to 1.80 metres in height.

Planting
Digitalis thrive best in the garden. Prepare a wide hole and loosen the soil with a fork. Improve poor garden soil with the addition of a mix of compost and granulated cow manure. Plant your foxglove at the correct depth - the top of the root ball should come to just slightly below soil level. Fill the hole with soil, heal well in and water immediately.
Foxgloves enjoy a semi-shaded spot in loose, well-drained soil. If you plant in full sun the foxglove will need to be watered more often.
Planting Digitalis (foxglove) with other plants
Digitalis get the ‘thumbs up’ as a border plant. This substantial plant combines well with most other border plants. Foxgloves look especially pretty next to mixed coneflowers (Echinacea) and mixed Monarda (bergamot or Bee Balm) Monarda 'Fantasy'.
Care
Water extra in periods of drought, keep the bed free of weeds and your foxglove (Digitalis) will thrive. Foxgloves are very undemanding and will even grow well in poor soil conditions. The plant can flower from June onwards.
Foxglove is self-seeding, giving you new plants for the following year. If you don't want it to do so, be sure and remove the overblown flowers before seed sets.
Foxgloves are very hardy plants.

Extra
Foxglove (Digitalis) is a bi-annual. You can enjoy the flowers of this special variety in year one. Usually only leaves form in the first year and this allows it to flower in year two.
Foxgloves grow to 80-120 cm high. This plant originated in woodland borders in Europe.
Foxglove flowers produce lots of nectar and are therefore very popular with butterflies and (bumble) bees.
