Foxglove Seeds - Camelot White (Pelleted)

Digitalis - Camelot White Pelleted (F1)

~50 Seeds

Foxglove Camelot White is a refined foxglove variety that brings classic beauty and dependable performance to the garden with its elegant, nodding white blooms.

The seeds are pelleted for ease of sowing, making them a practical choice for gardeners who appreciate tidy, efficient seed starting. Pelleted seeds require additional processing and careful packing, which contributes to a higher cost compared to non-pelleted seed.

Its creamy white, tubular flowers rise on tall, tapered spires that create a striking architectural feature in mixed beds, borders, and cottage-style plantings. The clean colour pairs effortlessly with almost any palette, adding brightness and contrast among more vibrant blooms.

Unlike many traditional foxgloves, this hybrid variety is bred to flower reliably in its first season and continues blooming over an extended period. Its compact, well-branched habit makes it easier to manage than wild types and simple to integrate with other perennials. Camelot White has also been developed for strong cold tolerance and improved disease resistance, offering consistent garden performance with minimal maintenance.

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.
