Digitalis Camelot Cream is an elegant, creamy-ivory foxglove that brings classic cottage-garden charm with a modern twist. Tall spires of soft cream blooms rise above lush green foliage, creating a graceful vertical accent that looks stunning in borders, pollinator gardens, and large containers. Unlike traditional foxgloves, the Camelot series often flowers in its first year, giving gardeners quicker colour and reward. Bees and hummingbirds adore the tubular blooms, while gardeners love the refined, neutral tone that pairs beautifully with pastels or bold summer shades. Pelleted seed makes sowing easier and more precise, especially for small seeds like Digitalis. These statuesque plants are excellent for cut flower arrangements, adding height and a romantic, old-world feel to bouquets. Ideal for cottage gardens, meadow plantings, and mixed perennial beds, Camelot Cream delivers dependable performance with sophisticated colour and impressive presence.

Common Questions and Answers:

1. “How long does Digitalis Foxglove Camelot bloom?”
This variety generally begins flowering in its first summer after sowing and continues to produce blooms for 6 to 8 weeks, depending on growing conditions. Cooler temperatures and regular deadheading can extend the flowering period.

2. “Can I grow Digitalis Foxglove Camelot in containers?”
Yes. With its moderate height and upright form, this foxglove performs well in large containers. Choose a deep pot (at least 20 cm/8 inches deep), use quality well-draining potting mix, water consistently, and position in full sun to part shade. The container environment also allows you to bring it under shelter if heavy rain or wind threatens delicate blooms.

Note: growing a perennial in a container may result in the plant dying over a cold winter.
