Candy Mountain Foxglove displays unique bright pink tubular blossoms with speckled throats. Unusual for a digitalis, Candy Mountain’s blooms are outward to slightly upward facing, instead of downward facing like most varieties. The flowers bloom on dramatic upright, 3-4' flowering spikes that rise above basal mounds of downy, dark green leaves. A profuse bloomer, Digitalis purpurea 'Candy Mountain' incredible flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, bumblebees, and other pollinators.
A biennial, let it drop its seed to ensure new plants every year, and a patch of beautifully blooming plants. Candy Mountain Common Foxglove, a stellar cut flower, use it mixed bouquets to great effect. Use in borders, as a specimen, in mass planting, and pots and planters. Candy Mountain Foxglove has a wonderful impact in small gardens.
