Digitalis Camelot Mix Pelleted F1

First-Year Blooms in Elegant Colors: Digitalis Camelot Mix F1 (Pelleted)

Enjoy the stately beauty of Digitalis Camelot Mix F1 (*Digitalis purpurea*) blooming in its first year from seed. This pelleted, conventional seed mix offers a lovely combination of four elegant colors: creamy white, soft lavender, delicate rose, and pure white, often with attractive inner speckling. The central flower spikes are large and full, and the plant develops side shoots that further enhance its bushy appearance. ‘Camelot Mix’ is an excellent choice for creating stunning bouquets and adding vertical interest to your garden. While technically a biennial, it performs best when treated as a fall or spring-planted hardy annual, as winter survival when treated as a perennial is generally poor. Also known as purple foxglove.
