Product Description:

Purple Foxglove (D. purpurea), also known as Common Foxglove or Lady's Glove, is a striking biennial or short-lived perennial plant. It is known for its tall flower stalks, which can reach up to 3-5 feet (90-150 cm) in height. The plant produces tall, one-sided spires of pendant, tubular flowers that are typically bright rosy-purple with white speckled throats. The leaves are oblong, deep green, and covered with a woolly texture. Blooms from early to midsummer, with each flower being about 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) long. Native to temperate Europe, including countries like Belgium, France, Germany, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. It has also naturalized in parts of North America and other temperate regions. Prefers well-drained soils and can grow in full sun to part shade. It thrives in humus-rich soil but can tolerate a range of soil conditions

Growing Instructions:

Space the plants about 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) apart. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and mulch to retain moisture. Deadhead the flowers after blooming to prevent excess self-seeding. Watch out for aphids, leaf and bud eelworm, leaf spots, and powdery mildew. Wear gloves when handling the plant, as it can cause skin irritation.

Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰

Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
