Digitalis Lanata Seeds (Foxglove Seeds)

Digitalis lanata is a biennial or short-lived perennial that grows to 3 feet tall. This plant is also known as Grecian Foxglove, Wooly Thimble, and White Thimble. This native of Southeastern Europe gets its name because its buds are covered with a wonderful thick fuzz. This very rare and beautiful foxglove produces long racemes of orchidlike flowers that are white with bronze, yellow or purplish tinted marks on a dark green foiage. It can be perennial or biennial, but usually needs a second year for flowering to occur in early Summer. Hardiness zones 4-9, (-32øC/-25øF, -5øC/25øF) in Winter. Use ordinary garden soil. Thrives in sun, but part shade in hot Summer areas. Keeping this plant watered will result in better flowering and healthier foliage.
