Dalmatian White Foxglove Care
Dalmatian White Foxglove can be grown in full sun to partial shade. Grow this low-maintenance plant in moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Water Dalmation White Foxglove whenever the soil is dry. It benefits from an annual application of a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring.
Dalmatian White Foxglove should be deadheaded after flowering to extend the blooming season and to control self-seeding. If self-seeding is desired, leave a few spent flower spikes on the plant. Mulching the plant will help protect it through winter while conserving soil moisture. If growing Dalmatian White Foxglove in containers, move the pot to a sheltered, unheated location in winter.
Dalmatian White Foxglove Spacing
Dalmatian White Foxglove readily self-seeds and looks great when planted in clusters. Space this perennial 12-14 inches apart, planting closer together for mass plantings.
