Pink-purple bells with pale, speckled throats rise over dark green leaves. This compact, sterile foxglove flowers for a long season but should not be counted on as a permanent clump. Grow in humus-rich soil; partial shade suits it well.

Resistance & tolerances

Drought: Avoid very dry soil.
Wet soil: Avoid waterlogging.

Keep in mind: Toxic if eaten by people or pets; wear gloves when handling.

Growing & care

Flowers: Remove faded main spikes to encourage side flowers.
Seeds: Sterile; do not expect it to self-seed.
Winter: Protect from severe freezing; the RHS rating is for UK conditions, not a Kentucky survival guarantee.
Maintenance: Leave sound stems for winter interest and wildlife if desired. Remove dead stems before fresh spring growth, avoiding new shoots and retaining healthy basal foliage.
