Landscape Qualities

Pink Panther Foxglove is an herbaceous perennial with a rigidly upright and towering form. Its medium texture blends into the garden | but can always be balanced by a couple of finer or coarser plants for an effective composition.

Ornamental Qualities

Pink Panther Foxglove features bold spikes of hot pink tubular flowers with white throats and burgundy spots rising above the foliage from mid summer to early fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its oval leaves remain dark green in color throughout the season.

Planting and Growing

Pink Panther Foxglove will grow to be about 22 inches tall at maturity extending to 30 inches tall with the flowers | with a spread of 22 inches. When grown in masses or used as a bedding plant | individual plants should be spaced approximately 18 inches apart. It tends to be leggy | with a typical clearance of 1 foot from the ground | and should be underplanted with lower-growing perennials. It grows at a fast rate | and tends to be biennial | meaning that it puts on vegetative growth the first year | flowers the second | and then dies. As an herbaceous perennial | this plant will usually die back to the crown each winter | and will regrow from the base each spring. Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions | but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid | and parts of it are known to be toxic to humans and animals | so care should be exercised in planting it around children and pets.
