Plant Features

Candy Mountain Rose Digitalis Plants produce gorgeous, brilliant-rose, bell-shaped flowers with black and white speckled throats that grow upward-facing, rather than downward, making its display very flamboyant, even from a distance. As the flowers mature, the blooms change to a rich mauve. This results in 20-inch spikes bearing speckled flowers of every hue from deep mauve at the bottom to rosy pink at the top. Wow! Foxgloves grow best in moist, well-drained soils. They can be grown in full sun in the north but prefer afternoon shade in southern gardens. Candy Mountain Rose is a biennial so it will need to self-seed after the second year to continue growing. Digitalis plants are attractive to hummingbirds and bumblebees and make striking cut flowers. Deer and rabbits tend to avoid them.

Our Digitalis Plants are carefully grown without harmful pesticides, ensuring they are a safe and striking addition to your garden. Guaranteed to arrive healthy and ready to thrive!
