Digitalis purpurea Camelot White (Common Foxglove)

Providing architectural height to borders, Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot White' (Common Foxglove) is an eye-catching biennial or short-lived perennial boasting tall spires of outward-facing, funnel-shaped, pure white flowers delicately speckled in the throat. Blooming profusely from early summer to midsummer, 'Camelot White' forms many sturdy, high-quality secondary flower spikes, which extend the bloom time to over 4 weeks in many instances. Rising from a basal rosette of deep green oval leaves on strong stems, the blooms are attractive to hummingbirds, which hover near the tubular blossoms, and to birds that will flock to the seedheads in the fall. Offering a long-lasting floral display, this eye-catching plant naturalizes well as it self-sows profusely and may create lovely colonies in the landscape.
