The ‘Camelot’ foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) is a remarkable perennial or biennial plant known for its long, erect flower stalks covered in large, bell-shaped flowers of rich and luminous colors. It immediately brings height and structure to flowerbeds and natural or country-style gardens.
The Camelot series stands out for its earlier and more uniform flowering, often in the first year. It is ideal for beds, back borders, and partly shaded gardens, where it creates a very elegant vertical effect.
Easy to grow, the ‘Camelot’ foxglove prefers rich, well-drained soils and sun to partial shade exposure. It attracts pollinators, especially bees, and contributes to the biodiversity of the garden.
