DIGITALIS (Foxglove) 



Generally these superb, spire-like plants are true biennials, dying the second season 

 after they have ripened seeds. Frequently they produce offsets at the crown which 

 prolong their life into that of a true perennial. The cro-n-ns are very hable to rot in the 

 winter if covered with damp leaves or heavy manure. Something hght and airy is best.
