With Digitalis purpurea 'Hanabee White' (Foxglove 'Hanabee White'), you get tall, elegant spires of white, tubular blooms that bring vertical drama to cottage borders and lightly shaded beds. In its first season it forms a basal rosette; in the next it typically sends up flowering stems that can reach about 24-36 inches tall in garden settings. Hummingbirds and many pollinators are drawn to the nectar-rich flowers.
Give it well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, and keep the root zone evenly moist, especially during warm weather. Full sun to part shade works well, and many gardeners find it performs best with some afternoon shade where summers are hot. Deadhead spent flower spikes to tidy the plant and encourage additional bloom; if you leave a few stalks to mature, it can self-sow and return in following years.
Space plants to allow airflow and reduce leaf issues such as spotting or mildew. Water at the base when possible, avoid soggy winter soils, and cut back finished stalks once flowering is done. This is a short-lived perennial or biennial in many gardens, but it often persists through self-seeding when conditions suit it.
All parts of foxglove are poisonous if ingested, so plant thoughtfully if you have curious children or pets. Use it where its upright flowers can rise behind lower companions, and enjoy the bright, clean white blooms as they light up the garden in late spring into early summer.
