PerennialResource.com will be undergoing scheduled maintenance on Friday, May 28, from 5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Parts or all of the site may be unavailable during that time.

Common Name: Tender Foxglove

Digiplexis, a hybrid between hardy Digitalis and tender Isoplexis, is prized for its incredibly long bloom power, flowering from spring to frost. Deep pink flowers with mango orange interiors are produced on sturdy flower spikes. Rich, dark green leaves form a large foliar canopy underneath the flowers. Compared to 'Berry Canary', the overall color is more orange.

This tropical looking beauty is one the longest blooming plants we offer, blooming strong from late spring to frost, so retailers can count on sales all season long and gardeners will see flowers all season.

If you live in a place that is colder than zone 8, expect Digiplexis to be an annual.
