Description
36-48” tall x 12-24" wide. Pam’s Choice Split Foxglove (Digitalis) blooms in early- to mid-summer and adds drama and height to perennial beds and borders. Plants perform well in partial shade, where the white blooms illuminate the landscape. Naturalize in woodland gardens or plant against a dark wall or fence to highlight the blooms. Slightly shorter than other Foxgloves and with a slender profile, ‘Pam’s Choice Split’ is a great selection for small spaces. The sturdy stems do not require staking. Tubular blooms attract hummingbirds and other pollinators to the garden and provide a lovely vertical accent. Plants perform best on moist, rich soils. Do not allow soils to dry out. Foxgloves tend toward a biennial life cycle. Allow seeds to mature and fall in the garden for a gorgeous display year after year. Deer and rabbit resistant. Plants are deer and rabbit resistant. Plant with caution, leaves and seeds of Foxglove (Digitalis) produce a powerful chemical used as a heart medicine but are toxic if ingested.
