Dalmatian Peach Digitalis

Dalmatian Peach is a compact foxglove selection with peach-colored spikes that bloom in late spring and summer. PanAmerican Seed lists plants at 16–20 inches tall by 12–14 inches wide for zones 5a–9b and notes first-year flowering from seed ([PanAmerican Seed](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/023105668003951/digitalis-dalmatian-peach/); [University of Wisconsin Extension](https://hort.extension.wisc.edu/articles/common-foxglove-digitalis-purpurea/)). ## Landscape Use The low foliage and upright flower stems suit front-of-border groups, mass plantings, and larger containers. Use this named color selection where a warm peach tone is wanted among perennial flowers. Foxglove blooms attract bees, particularly bumblebees, and hummingbirds; stems are also suitable for cutting. Dalmatian selections are F1 hybrids, so seedlings from saved seed will not reliably match the named color and habit. ## Growing Conditions The breeder lists sun exposure and a compact 16–20-inch height. The species grows in full sun to light shade and prefers soil that stays moderately moist while draining well. Add organic matter where soil is poor and avoid a site that becomes very dry or waterlogged. The listed spread supports close grouping without crowding. ## Safety All parts of foxglove are toxic if eaten, and touching the leaves may irritate sensitive skin. Keep plants away from children and pets that may chew them, and wear gloves during handling. ## Maintenance Remove spent flower spikes after blooming to limit self-sown seedlings, or leave selected stems for volunteers. Water during dry spells and clear away spent stems after flowering. Deer and rabbits generally avoid common foxglove.
