Digitalis purpurea Apricot
Foxglove Apricot
Description
Digitalis purpurea 'Apricot' is a cultivar of the common foxglove, prized for its distinctive apricot-colored flowers. This biennial plant produces tall spires of bell-shaped blooms, offering a soft and warm color palette to garden landscapes. The flowers typically appear in the second year of growth, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. The foliage forms a basal rosette of large, textured green leaves. Digitalis purpurea 'Apricot' prefers partial shade and moist, well-draining soil, similar to its parent species. Deadheading spent flower spikes can encourage further blooming and prevent unwanted self-seeding. Remember that all parts of this plant are poisonous, so handle with care.
