Notes
'Pam' foxglove (Digitalis purpurea 'Pam') 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 in spring and again in summer, and it draws butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
Pairs well with Cora Louise peony, Jackmanii clematis, and Little bluestem.
