Foxglove - Candy Mountain (5" pot)
Biennial. Brilliant magenta blooms make for a stunning display in the garden. The florets of ‘Candy Mountain’ are upward facing, an unusual feature for foxgloves. This variety is a true biennial and will only bloom in its second season, at which you will find out that they are well worth the wait!
Foxgloves are easy to grow, vertical accents to spruce up low light areas. Tubular flowers form on magnificent spires, and are an absolute hummingbird magnet. Cutting the main flower spike will produce side shoots that bloom into fall. As a biennial, Foxglove usually do not flower in their first year. In their second year they will bloom beautifully, self-seed generously, and then die. Because of this life cycle, successive plantings over two seasons will ensure you have Foxglove blooming in your garden for many years to come. They perform best in rich, well-draining soil that is acidic, making them an excellent choice to place near coniferous trees.
