You won't be disappointed with this new foxglove if you like to see immediate results, as it will nearly always flower in its first year. The pure-white flowers that form on the upright branching stems have a pretty freckling of plum coloured markings in their throat, and if cut back promptly, there may well be a second flush of flowers later in the year.
Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmatian White' makes a dramatic vertical and architectural statement during the late spring and early summer, signalling to pollinating bees from far and wide.

Plant into a lightly shaded, well-prepared border or woodland margin with plenty of organic matter (well-rotted compost).
Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering, cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Cut down to the ground after flowering. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the plant in early spring.
These plants are mainly short-lived perennials, although if happy they will produce plenty of new sideshoots and self-seed freely.
