Digitalis Purpurea - Monstrosa Color Mix seed different colored speckled digitalis flowers

Digitalis purpurea - Monstrosa Color Mix has stems that are topped with unusually large single flowers that are either a white or pink color. The foliage is large and slightly felty. It has a blooming season ranging from June to July, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade in well-draining soil, and will grow between 3 – 5 feet tall. It will attract pollinators to your garden such as Hummingbirds, Butterflies, and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These make great cut flowers. The formation of peloric flowers in foxgloves is fairly rare but they have been report for many years. The proper botanical name for this plant is Digitalis purpurea monstrosa. The term monstrosa is Greek and means huge or monsterous. A normal foxglove develops an indeterminate inflorescence that steadily gets taller until the plant can’t support more flowers. The flowers open sequentially starting at the bottom. In a peloric foxglove, a terminal flower develops and opens before any of the other buds. This stops any further growth above the peloric flower. The remaining flowers open from the bottom up and have a normal shape.
