Apricot Foxglove lends a soft and striking aspect to the spring garden. As a biennial plant, its low rosette of velvety foliage decorates the garden in the first year, and its tall peachy-pink flower spikes emerge in its second year. Funnel-shaped flowers open slowly from the bottom of the stem first, completely surrounding the stem and providing an incredible source of nectar and pollen for bees in particular. It’s a classic flower for shade gardens in a warm color that harmonizes nicely with any color scheme. (Digitalis purpurea)

Dalmatian Peach Foxglove adds soft color and elegant structure to the garden. Spikes of bell-shaped blooms open a lovely shade of pink and fade to pale peach with age. Small orange freckles dot the throat of each blossom. A graceful cut flower, harvest stems when just the lowest blooms are open. Hummingbirds and bees adore these early season blooms.
