The rich raspberry-rose blooms on this plant are 2 inches wide and borne along crowded 1-foot spikes. The flowers tend to look even larger than they are, however, for the plant itself is only 18 inches high and wide, really making the blossoms stand out. Expect a heavy bloom in early summer, with a repeat (if the old flowers are cut back promptly) in fall. Spanish Peaks® comes from the species D. thapsi, native to Portugal and Spain. Perhaps its Mediterranean origin makes it more adaptable to heat and dry soil; you'll find it much more content in these conditions than your other Foxgloves. Still, for best growth and flowering, give it rich, moist soil with a good layer of protective mulch. Set it in full sun in the north, part shade farther south.
