Notes
'Camelot Mix' digitalis (Digitalis purpurea 'Camelot Mix') is a perennial for borders, 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 of most types. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It blooms the first year from seed, with rose, purple, and lavender flowers. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Jeana garden phlox, Little bluestem, and Queen of Night tulip.
