The Camelot series brings classic foxglove drama in a more reliable package: three to four foot spires packed with speckle-throated bells in pinks, whites, and creams, blooming their first year. Hummingbirds and bumblebees disappear into the flowers all day.

Give it morning sun and afternoon shade here, with rich, moist but drained soil. Plant in fall or early spring so the spikes finish before deep summer heat. Deer and rabbits leave foxgloves alone. Let a stalk or two set seed and you will find welcome volunteers.
