How to care for Digitalis × valinii Foxlight Plum Gold ('Takfoplgo') (PBR) (Foxlight Series):
Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. In milder areas apply a generous 5-7cm mulch in autumn to protect the roots from the cold. Alternatively, grow it in a pot and over-winter it in a cool greenhouse.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
