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.
