This foxglove at 8.90€ seems quite frail to me. I feel like it has been eaten by slugs or something. So disappointed ????

Description
Digitalis Spice Island is a perennial foxglove that brings something very new. Of modest size, it blooms generously and faithfully for 3 or 4 years, from late spring to early autumn, in spikes of very soft peach-yellow flowers, above evergreen, elongated, shiny dark green foliage. It is also a robust plant, which tolerates drought and cold. It thrives in the sun, in well-drained soil, and easily self-seeds in flower beds.
Foxglove Spice Island is a hybrid cultivar, derived from Digitalis purpurea, a plant from the Plantaginaceae family. It is a short-lived perennial, developing a rosette with a diameter of 30 cm (12in) from spring, with lanceolate, medium green, very shiny, persistent leaves. Small leaves also adorn the flower stalk. In the second year, from June to October, without interruption, hollow but sturdy stems emerge from the rosette, reaching a minimum height of 70 or 80 cm (28 or 32in), carrying a narrow but dense flower spike, composed of a multitude of bell-shaped flowers in a very soft hue. Each flower is a blend of light yellow and peach, revealing a striated throat sprinkled with cinnamon brown. The flowering is melliferous and nectariferous. This variety freely self-seeds in the garden.
Showing perfect performance in hot and rather dry climates, this Spice Island foxglove is a plant that tolerates root competition quite well. In the north, it can be planted in sunny locations, while in the south, it prefers partial shade. It can be planted at the base of hedges or shrub beds, where it will bloom abundantly from late spring to autumn. It pairs well with the blue bells of campanulas, the flowers of columbines, centaureas, or the purple stars of asters in autumn. This well-branched variety, with growth that is not too tall, will allow you to enjoy its flowering for a long time in a large pot near the house. Also, take advantage of these beautiful flowers indoors by creating sumptuous bouquets.

Planting and care
Foxglove Spice Island is a perennial plant, not a biennial. It is easy to grow in the garden, planted in full sun in well-drained, ordinary soil. Although it is often recommended to plant purple foxgloves and their varieties in partial shade, this one seems to be more floriferous in sunny conditions. It is a very hardy plant, but its lifespan is quite short. Foxgloves self-seed abundantly in the garden, but the plants obtained are not always identical to the mother plants, especially when it comes to horticultural selections, and when several cultivars are grown together.

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.
