Digitalis grandiflora

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in part shade. Prefers organically rich soils with consistent and regular moisture. Wet soils in winter can be fatal. Removal of flower spikes after bloom will encourage a secondary bloom. If flower spikes are left in place after flowering, plants may self-seed. However the spent flower spikes can rapidly become quite unsightly as the seed develops and many gardeners choose to remove most spikes and leave only a few for self-seeding. Once flowering and seeding is completed, cut back all stems to the basal foliage. Basal foliage is basically evergreen, but damaged leaves should be removed in early spring.

Common Name: large yellow foxglove
