Plant information

General

A modern, wild and romantic garden isn’t complete without a Digitalis purpurea. This dreamy plant, also known as foxglove or lady glove, is native to Europe, where you can find him growing in the wild almost everywhere. With its pastel-coloured flowers and funny shapes, the plant looks great in a planter or flowerpot on your balcony as well. Bees and bumblebees absolutely adore this plant, and will thank you for putting one in your garden!

Care

Water your foxglove about once a week; this plant doesn’t like to get his feet wet. Cut the plant down to the basal rosettes when it’s finished flowering. That way, you’ll get a whole new set of flowers next year. Do make sure you’re wearing gloves when handling this plant, as its leaves and flowers are poisonous.

Placing

The Digitalis purpurea enjoys a spot in the sun or half shade. You don’t have to worry about bringing this plant inside come winter, he’ll survive the colder weather just fine.

Propogation

You can repot your plant after purchase. Do make sure you’re wearing gloves when repotting, as all the parts of this plant are poisonous.
