The flowers smell like cotton candy. It blooms right after Dianthus 'Bath's Pink,' so the dianthus season is extended by planting these two cultivars. The numerous flowers grow to 1' and will not disappoint you. Give it full sun, good drainage and a spot of lime. In gardens south of zone 7, deep shade is best.
Flowers gracefully hang on arched spikes in spring and continue sporadically until fall.
Well drained, moist locations are best. A must for the woodland garden. When one thinks of foxgloves, spires of lovely tubular flowers in purples and whites usually come to mind. However, other garden-worthy foxgloves offer other flower colors and are dependably perennial. While I have a soft heart for Digitalis purpurea, the common foxglove, my love for it led me on a search to grow and learn more about this genus.
