A compact, semi-evergreen perennial that showcases lance-shaped dark green leaves, and from early to late summer, upright spikes of nodding, bell-shaped flowers that are rich pink on the outside and pale pink to cream in the throats. Unlike most foxgloves, which have a short flowering season, 'Arctic Fox Rose' offers long-lasting blooms and flowers in its first year, making it a valuable addition to any cottage garden scheme.
This short-lived perennial foxglove thrives in most soil types and conditions, except for very wet or very dry areas. For optimal growth, plant it in a sheltered, warm spot with humus-rich soil in light or partial shade. To encourage more flowers, deadhead spent blooms regularly. Cut back flowering spikes after flowering.
