Digitalis purpurea ‘Dalmatian Purple’ is a fast-blooming foxglove that brings rich, royal purple spires to the garden in its very first year. Unlike the old biennial types that make you wait, this improved selection rises quickly, sending up sturdy flower stalks lined with tubular blooms—each throat delicately spotted like a craftsman’s careful hand.
Growing 18–24 inches tall, it forms a compact but upright presence, well-suited to borders, cottage gardens, and woodland edges. The flowers open from late spring into early summer, drawing in bees and hummingbirds, who know a good thing when they see it.
It prefers partial shade but will tolerate full sun if the soil stays evenly moist and well-drained. Rich soil suits it best, though it is not overly fussy. After blooming, it may self-sow modestly, carrying its line forward as foxgloves have done for generations.
A word to the wise: all parts of foxglove are toxic if ingested. Handle with care—beauty, in this case, comes with teeth.
