Camelot Foxglove (Digitalis) is a premier hybrid series famous for its ability to reliably bloom in its very first year. The Camelot series grows with exceptional vigor, blooming with 3- to 4-foot flower stalks packed with bells.

A standout feature of this variety is its 360-degree, outward-facing blooms, which stand horizontally perfectly showcasing their heavily speckled, contrast-rich throats. Available in striking shades of rose, white and mix, these nectar-rich spikes act as a major magnet for bumblebees and hummingbirds. Its natural chemical compounds also make it completely deer and rabbit resistant.

Plant Camelot Foxglove before they start to bloom so that the plant will be fully rooted and stable before it displays it's tall, beautiful spikes. Plant it in full sun in well drained soil.
