💚Plant Nerd: These intriguing plants from plant breeder Charles Valin are unique crosses of Foxgloves, between hardy Digitalis purpurea and its tropical relative Isoplexis canariensis from the Canary Islands. They are technically 'tender perennials' which means that they can be brought indoors to overwinter. Most gardeners will probably prefer to grow them as annuals here in WNC. They are not cold hardy outdoors through winter here.

These plants prefer cooler nights. If they are placed in a location where the nights are warm, they may temporarily stop blooming.
