Description:Foxglove Camelot Lavender features multiple flower spikes of lavender mauve flowers with dark speckles of maroon. These make a statement in any mass planting and flower arrangement. This variety features a tighter growth habit than other varieties of Foxgloves. Foxgloves are usually biennials; however, this variety will produce flower spikes already in its first year. When cutting for a vase, cut when only a few of the blossoms have opened as this will allow you to enjoy it inside longer. Deadhead the first year's blooms to the base and allow the second year's blooms to go to seed. This will help the lifespan of the Foxglove in your flower bed, as these Camelot varieties will last longer than the original biennial foxgloves.
