More About Foxglove ‘Dalmatian Peach’

Foxglove ‘Dalmatian Peach’ is a refined foxglove selection known for its warm peach-toned blooms, offering a softer, more romantic color option within the Dalmatian series. The tubular flowers are densely arranged along sturdy flower spikes and feature subtle interior spotting that adds classic foxglove character.

Like other Dalmatian series varieties, this selection is bred to flower reliably in its first season, eliminating the unpredictability associated with traditional biennial foxgloves. This makes it ideal for planned garden designs and container plantings.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Dalmatian Peach’ has performed consistently well in partial shade with regular moisture. Plants establish quickly, maintain a neat basal rosette, and produce uniform, upright flower spikes without the need for staking.

We especially appreciate the color. The peach blooms blend beautifully with creams, soft pinks, lavenders, and silvery foliage, making this variety exceptionally easy to design with in cottage and woodland-style gardens. Bees and other pollinators are frequent visitors during bloom.

Dalmatian Peach vs. Other Foxglove

Dalmatian Peach stands out within the Dalmatian series for its soft, warm flower color that brings a lighter, more contemporary feel than traditional foxgloves. Its peach-toned blooms are less dramatic than purple but more nuanced than Dalmatian White, making it especially effective in pastel borders, cottage-style gardens, and mixed containers. Like the rest of the Dalmatian series, it flowers earlier and more reliably in the first year, with a compact, upright habit that resists flopping. Compared to Dalmatian Purple, Peach feels gentler and blends more seamlessly with other flowering plants rather than acting as a bold focal point. It pairs beautifully with silvers, blues, and soft pinks for a refined, layered look.
