Digitalis spp. Apricot

Common Name: Apricot Foxglove

Description:
Digitalis ‘Apricot’ is a beautiful and elegant foxglove variety, showcasing tall spires of soft apricot-hued, bell-shaped flowers with delicately speckled throats. Blooming from late spring through summer, this perennial or biennial attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a fantastic choice for cottage gardens and wildlife-friendly landscapes. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. ‘Apricot’ foxgloves add stunning vertical interest to garden beds and borders, pairing beautifully with other perennials. Deadheading can encourage a second flush of flowers, while allowing some blooms to set seed ensures natural self-seeding for future seasons.
