Digitalis purpurea 'Candy Mountain White'

Attract hummingbirds and butterflies to your garden with enchanting Digitalis purpurea ‘Candy White Mountain’ Foxglove. Upward-facing blooms in milky white reveal their garnet-flecked throats, drawing the eye to this beguiling flower. An early summer-blooming biennial, ‘Candy White Mountain’ Foxglove yields tall, strong stems, and often reseeds itself.

The genus Digitalis comes from southern Europe and has some 20 species, mostly perennials. They grow either in sun or partial shade, which makes them ideal plants for woodland gardens. Some are biennial, and even the perennial forms tend to be short-lived, but their extravagant flowering more than compensates for this, and many will reseed themselves. Foxgloves are of easy culture and make excellent cut flowers if picked when the blooms are half open. But their real strength is as dramatic and richly colored vertical accents, a look that is impossible to duplicate with another genus.
