Digitalis ‘Dalmatian Peach’ – Soft Peach Foxglove with Early Flowering
Digitalis ‘Dalmatian Peach’ is a beautifully soft-toned foxglove, producing elegant spikes of warm peach-pink tubular flowers, each delicately marked within the throat. Flowering in its first year, it offers quick and reliable colour, making it a popular choice for both seasonal and perennial planting schemes.
The blooms are carried on strong, upright stems above a neat rosette of green foliage, providing clear vertical structure without becoming too tall or overpowering. Its gentle peach colouring blends effortlessly into pastel borders and works particularly well in romantic or cottage-style planting.
With its compact, sturdy habit, ‘Dalmatian Peach’ is ideal for smaller gardens, containers, and front-to-mid border positions. It brings the charm of traditional foxgloves in a more manageable and predictable form.
Thriving in sun or partial shade, it prefers moist, well-drained soil and benefits from a sheltered position. Deadheading can encourage a further flush of flowers later in the season.
Soft, elegant, and easy to grow, this modern foxglove is perfect for adding height, warmth, and delicate colour to the garden.
