Camelot™ White Digitalis

Camelot White carries upright spikes of white foxglove bells from spring into summer. Syngenta lists this selection at 36–48 inches tall and 24–30 inches wide in zones 4a–9a, while Wisconsin Extension describes first-year flowering across the Camelot series ([Syngenta Flowers](https://www.syngentaflowers.com/ams/product/flower/70019383); [University of Wisconsin Extension](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/common-foxglove-digitalis-purpurea/)). ## Landscape Use Use the tall flower stems in cottage borders, mass plantings, or behind lower perennials to bring a pale vertical accent into the planting. Foxglove flowers are visited by bees, including bumblebees, and by hummingbirds; the stems can also be cut for arrangements. Camelot is an F1 hybrid series, so saved seed will not reliably come true to this named selection. ## Growing Conditions The breeder lists full sun and flowering from mid-spring through summer. Common foxglove tolerates light shade and grows best in moisture-retentive, well-drained soil with organic matter. Keep the root zone from drying out, especially while plants are growing and flowering, and avoid persistently waterlogged ground. ## Safety All parts of foxglove are toxic if ingested, and contact with the leaves may irritate sensitive skin. Site it where children and pets cannot chew it; use gloves when handling plants. ## Maintenance Deadhead after flowering to reduce self-seeding, or leave a few stems where seedlings are desired. Because Camelot grows tall, stake stems where wind or a loose planting could bend them. Water during dry periods to maintain steady soil moisture.
