Camelot™ Lavender Digitalis

Camelot™ Lavender is the lavender-flowered color variety in Syngenta’s F1 Camelot foxglove series, Digitalis purpurea. The exact [breeder product page](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70019382) describes an upright, medium-vigorous perennial with a 36–48-inch garden height, 24–30-inch spread, and USDA hardiness of 4a–9a. ## Garden character Large dark-green rosettes support tall stems with pastel racemes; Lavender adds a soft purple accent to the planting. Syngenta lists flowering from mid-spring through summer, marks the product pollinator friendly, and describes the series for garden beds and vases. Its vertical form works in the middle or back of a perennial border and as a cut flower. ## Growing conditions The exact product is listed for full sun. North Carolina Extension’s [Digitalis purpurea profile](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/digitalis-purpurea/common-name/foxglove/) describes species-level culture in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter and notes that afternoon shade suits the species. The breeder’s cultivar-specific hardiness range is 4a–9a. ## Maintenance At species level, NC State recommends deadheading after flowering to reduce excess seedlings, while leaving some seed if reseeding is desired. Foxglove is poisonous; the extension profile identifies all plant parts as toxic and rates severity as high, so site it carefully around children and pets.
