Digitalis parviflora | <\/i>Chocolate Foxglove<\/p>\n
Chocolate Foxglove, also known as Small-flowered Foxglove and Chocolate Milk, is native to Spain and is a beautiful perennial Foxglove that bears dense spikes of small, tightly packed tubular flowers that are copper-orange to chocolate-brown with white or yellow throats on 24-28 inch tall stems that shoot out of dark green glossy foliage in June and early July. This plant makes a striking contrast to brighter flowers in your shade garden or when planted against a dark green background. They Foxgloves look fantastic in the middle to back of ornamental flower beds where their tall flowering spires lift the eye to the back of the garden.<\/p>\n
Grows best in moist but drained soil, full sun to part shade and even full shade. Meaning, you can utilize it for a border plant and even into an under-planted woodland. Cut back any spent flowering stems for a second flush of blooms. It may take a year to flower, but being a true perennial, this unusual and rare foxglove will have a long life in your garden by returning the next year and also by self sowing. Start seeds outdoors or germinate them indoors with heat, humidity, and light.<\/p>\n
Attractive to butterflies, birds, and bees while deer and rabbits stay away. Bumblebees have a particular affinity for Foxglove because Foxglove has evolved a classic lip for the bees to land on and stamens that wipe pollen on their backs<\/p>\n
Digitalis makes long-lasting cut blooms, perfect for tall and impressive arrangements. The trick to getting the longest vase life from a foxglove flower is to get to it before the bees find it. When the flowers are pollinated they drop from the stems, so harvest early when just a few blossoms are open.<\/p>\n
