Foxglove Seeds - Camelot Lavender (Pelleted)

Digitalis - Camelot Lavender Pelleted (F1)

~50 Seeds

Foxglove Camelot Lavender is a refined foxglove variety that offers both elegance and reliability for home gardeners with their delicate, nodding lavender blooms. 

The seeds are pelleted for ease of sowing, making them a practical choice for those who value clean, efficient seed starting. Pelleted seeds require special handling and packing, which results in a higher cost compared to non-pelleted seeds. 

The pastel-toned flowers form tall, tapering spires that create a graceful architectural focal point in mixed beds, borders, or cottage-style gardens.

This hybrid variety tends to bloom reliably in its first season—unlike many traditional foxgloves—and continues to reward gardeners with a prolonged flowering period. Its neat, compact habit sets it apart from wild types, making it easier to manage and combine with other perennials, and it has been bred for exceptional cold tolerance and disease resistance, providing strong garden performance with minimal fuss.

Common Questions and Answers:

1. “How long does Digitalis Foxglove Camelot Lavender F1 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 Lavender F1 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.
