Digitalis Pam’s Choice, also known as ‘Foxglove’ and a holder of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, is a cultivar of the popular foxglove plant, known for its tall spikes of bell-shaped creamy white trumpet shaped flowers with maroon splashed throats, above rosettes of hairy, mid green leaves.  This particular variety was first introduced by UK-based breeder Pam Eveleigh and named after her, it is becoming increasingly popular among gardeners for its long blooming period and vibrant, eye-catching flowers.

Digitalis Pam’s Choice is a biennial or short-lived perennial plant that can reach up to 1.5 metres in height. The flowers bloom in late Spring to early Summer. The plant’s green leaves are lanceolate, providing a nice contrast to the bright flowers.

How to care for the Digitalis Pam’s Choice

  1. Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. It is best to plant the Digitalis in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade.
  2. Water: Prefers moist soil, but it can tolerate periods of dryness. Water the plant regularly and make sure the soil does not dry out completely.
  3. Fertiliser: It does not require a lot of fertiliser, but it can benefit from a slow-release fertiliser applied once a month during the growing season.
  4. Pruning: It does not require frequent pruning, but it can be pruned to shape and control its size. Prune the plant after it flowers, and avoid pruning in fall or winter.
  5. Soil: It prefers a well-drained, moist soil. If your soil is heavy clay or sandy, amend it with organic matter to improve drainage.
  6. Temperature: It is fully hardy.

By following these care tips, you can ensure that your Digitalis Pam’s Choice thrives and remains healthy for many years to come.
