Description
Digitalis purpurea Pam's Split is an exceptional new variety with flamboyant flowers derived from the remarkable Pam's Choice. This plant is more biennial than perennial and produces several densely packed stems with cream-white bell-shaped flowers, boldly revealing intensely burgundy-spotted throats. While its flowering is a feast for the eyes in flower beds, its shorter size allows it to be planted in a large pot on the terrace or used in spectacular bouquets. Sow early in spring to enjoy it as soon as possible, in humus-bearing, moist soil with dappled sunlight.
Digitalis purpurea Pam's Split Foxglove is a cultivar derived from Digitalis purpurea, a plant in the Scrophulariaceae family. It is a biennial to perennial plant that develops a large rosette 45 cm (18in) in diameter from spring onwards, with dark green, crenate-dentate, hairy leaves, the undersides of which are wrinkled in a network pattern. They are covered with slightly woolly, very light hairs. In May-June of the second year, up to 5 hollow but sturdy stems emerge from the rosette, reaching 1.20 m (4ft) high and bearing a very dense floral spike composed of numerous tightly packed tubular flowers. Each bell-shaped flower is split lengthwise and turned up to reveal a throat heavily speckled with a rich red. The flowering is nectar-rich.
Plant Pam's Split Foxglove in a sunny or semi-shaded spot in humus-bearing, moist soil, alongside old roses or perennials with single flowers such as columbines, centaureas, astrantias, or meadow rues. This shorter, well-branched variety will flower for a long time in a large pot on the terrace. This magnificent, architectural plant will also accompany perennial geraniums, heucheras, and the feathery foliage of ferns in light woodland. Take this marvel into your home by creating sumptuous bouquets.
Attention, these seeds are reserved for experienced gardeners who are accustomed to sowing very fine seeds. These seeds are as fine as dust, barely visible to the naked eye.

Planting and care
Sow foxgloves from January to May, on the surface of good, moist, well-draining compost and place it at a temperature of 18-29°C (64.4-84.2°F). Lightly cover the seeds with vermiculite. Place in a propagator or a polythene bag until the seeds germinate, which usually takes 14 to 30 days. Keep the seedlings in the light, as this aids germination. Transplant when they are large enough to handle into 8 cm (3in) diameter trays or pots. Gradually acclimatise the plants to cooler conditions for a few weeks before planting them after all risk of frost, with a spacing of 45 to 60cm (18 to 24in) between each plant. Foxgloves from early sowing may sometimes flower in their first year. Purple foxgloves and their varieties prefer partial shade and slightly acidic, loose and humus-bearing, not too rich soil. They are very hardy plants, but quite short-lived. They self-seed abundantly in the garden, but the resulting plants are rarely identical to the parent plants.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
