DIGITALIS - Goldcrest
Description:
Foxglove Goldcrest, Digitalis 'Goldcrest' 'Waldigone' PPAF, blooms from mid-summer into early fall and has strong 18" long stems with dark green lance shaped leaves. The flower racemes are in shades of yellow-peach with reddish brown markings. Digitalis 'Goldcrest' differs from Digitalis grandiflora in that it flowers over a longer period, has smaller flowers and darker semi-evergreen leaves. It is well branched so that there is succession of flowering. Compact in size, it is a great garden perennial, and 'Goldcrest' is sure to be a unique and colorful addition for your garden landscape! Digitalis should be planted in full sun but will tolerate morning shade. It blooms early to mid summer. In most climates, partial shade is best, though it will grow in full sun in northern regions. Try planting it in woodland gardens, as a border plant or for cut flowers. Remember to leave some dead flower stalks to self sow for future flowers. Being a major attraction to bees, butterflies and birds, it is a must in any garden. (All parts of Digitals are poisonous if ingested and can be invasive).
