Digitalis purpurea ‘Dalmatian Peach’ is a refined twist on the classic foxglove, offering elegant spires of soft peach-apricot flowers with delicate, freckled throats. Blooming in early summer, this compact, fast-growing variety forms neat rosettes of foliage and produces flower spikes that are shorter and more uniform than traditional types – making it ideal for smaller gardens, borders, and containers. Its soft colouring pairs beautifully with pastels and silvers, adding a gentle, romantic note to planting schemes.

  • Height: 60–90cm
  • Spread: 30–40cm

Plant in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soil. Foxgloves appreciate a bit of afternoon shade in hotter areas. Water regularly during dry spells in the first year to establish strong roots. Remove spent spikes to encourage a second flush of flowers. Although technically a short-lived perennial or biennial, ‘Dalmatian Peach’ may return for a second or third year, especially if conditions suit and spent blooms are cut back promptly.

Perfect for cottage gardens, wildlife borders, or romantic planting schemes. Try pairing with Astrantia, Nepeta, Geum ‘Pink Petticoats’, or ornamental grasses like Deschampsia for a naturalistic look. In containers, combine with soft pinks, mauves, and silver-leaved plants for an elegant pastel mix. Looks stunning as part of a layered border with lower-growing perennials in front.
