Description

Spanish Peaks® Foxglove (Digitalis thapsi Spanish Peaks) is a reliable perennial species that blooms in early summer with spikes of large rosy-pink flowers. Native to Spain, this plant is superior to the biennial English Foxgloves that are commonly grown. A 1999 Plant Select® winner, it's an outstanding choice for western gardens.

Planting & Care

Growing Digitalis (Foxglove)

These Old World perennials bloom from late spring into mid-summer (depending on the variety) and are easy-to-grow. In some areas hummingbirds will visit them for nectar, as will bumblebees. Digitalis are considered poisonous and are not eaten by rabbits and deer. Avoid planting Digitalis where small children and pets can chew on them.

Preferred growing conditions:

  • They grow well in most any type of soil including clay that doesn't sit wet.
  • Mulch with common mulching materials. Evergreen species (such as D. obscura and 'Honey Trumpet') like gravel mulch when planted in a xeriscape.
  • Most do well with regular irrigation to keep the soil moderately moist. The evergreen species are more xeric.
  • Plant in full sun or part sun.
  • Just a few handfuls of compost and Yum Yum Mix in the planting hole is enough. But biennial varieties like a richer, more water retentive compost enriched soil.

Special comments

  • Some seed-grown species can re-seed vigorously and should be deadheaded.

Garden Care

  • Fertilize in the fall with Yum Yum Mix and good quality compost.
  • Deadheading is not necessary, but will reduce re-seeding of seed grown varieties.
  • Evergreen varieties (such as D. obscura and 'Honey Trumpet') should not be cut back except to deadhead. Herbaceous species should remain standing over the winter and cut back hard in mid-spring. Biennial varieties should be left undisturbed over the winter because they will bloom the following growing season, then die.
