How to Grow:

Digitalis Purple thrives in moist, well-drained soil and will flourish in a spot with full sun or light shade. These tall beauties are perfect for the back of garden borders or even in more natural, wildflower-style planting schemes. While they are relatively low-maintenance, ensure they are kept watered, especially in drier spells, as they prefer consistently moist soil. After flowering, cut back the spent flower spikes to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
