Camelot Cream Pelleted (F1) Digitalis Seed

Item #HSC-DIG-001-PKT

A cream foxglove with dark red freckles.

Camelot Cream has ivory to cream bells, spotted dark red in the throat, set all around the stem.

Each plant makes one or two big, full center spikes, followed by good side shoots for cutting and a fuller look in the bed. Camelot flowers the first year from seed and is best grown as a hardy annual, planted in fall or spring; it seldom survives winter well as a perennial.

Flowers about 120–135 days from sowing, on plants 28–40" tall. Pelleted seed with a conventional coating (not NOP-compliant). F1 hybrid.

Growing guide

From seed to harvest

Start early, uncovered

Sow 10–12 weeks ahead; light helps the seed sprout.

Space for the use

9–12" for cutting, 12–18" in beds.

Moist, free-draining soil

Sun or part shade.

Cut at one-third open

Deadhead to keep new spikes coming.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 2–3 weeks at 65–70°F (18–21°C).

Starting indoors

The best method. Sow 10–12 weeks before planting out. The seed needs light to sprout, so leave it uncovered or dust it with a little fine vermiculite to hold it in place.

Direct sowing

Only practical where the season is long: sow as soon as the ground can be worked.

Light

Full sun to part shade.

Plant height

28–40".

Plant spacing

9–12" for cut-flower beds; 12–18" in garden plantings.

Hardiness

Zones 4–8.

Harvest

Cut when the bottom third of the bells are open. Removing spent spikes brings on more flowers.

Soil

Moist soil that drains well.

Uses

A fine cut flower; also for borders, mass plantings, woodland edges and cottage gardens.

Caution

Foxglove is poisonous if eaten. Keep it away from children and animals.

Packet

50 seeds.

Seeds per oz.

About 70,900 on average.
