Notes
'Camelot Cream' digitalis (Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot Cream') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil. Cream and red blooms open in spring and again in summer, and they draw butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Give the tall stems room to stand out.
Pairs well with Red Charm peony, Blue fescue, and Niobe clematis.
