Foxglove 'Camelot™ Lavender' F1

Digitalis purpurea hyb.
A statement foxglove with large, speckled bells displayed all around the floral spike. A favorite of cut flower lovers as it shoots up many secondary blooms, extending the bloom time well into summer. Lovely in front of shrubs or at the woodland's edge, and at its most spectacular in masses.

SOWING INSTRUCTIONS
Depth:
Surface sow and press in lightly; requires light to germinate.
Sprout Time:
7-20 days
Starting Indoors:
Recommended: 10-12 weeks before last frost, sow in germinating mix; covering flat with a sprinkling of vermiculite or a humidity dome to retain moisture while seeds germinate. Keep at 65-70°F.
Starting Outdoors:
Direct sow after last spring frost until early summer. Will bloom the following year.
WHEN TO SET OUTSIDE
At last frost date.
PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION
A hybrid foxglove that will reliably bloom the first year from a late winter indoors sowing, unlike traditional varieties. It is right at home in the exuberance of the June garden border and is a good cut flower too. Remove faded flowers and avoid wet winter soils to encourage a following season of bloom. Poisonous if eaten. Use gloves and caution when handling.
Final Spacing:
1-1.5'
Water Requirements:
Medium Water Use
Watering Details:
Water regularly—1" per week, more during particularly dry spells. Keep evenly moist, never saturated nor too dry for the best growth and flowering.
Soil pH:
Acidic to mildly alkaline.
Fertilizer:
Mix about 2" of compost into the soil at time of planting, and top-dress next spring with about 1".
Diseases & Pests:
Slugs can be troublesome. Prevent damage by sprinkling iron phosphate pellets on the ground around the plants during favorable conditions for slugs. Avoid powdery mildew and leaf spot with proper spacing in a location that has good air circulation.
When to Cut for Bouquets:
Harvest when about half of the florets are open.
