More About Foxglove ‘Dalmatian White’

Foxglove ‘Dalmatian White’ is an improved foxglove selection known for its clean white flower spikes and earlier bloom time compared to traditional foxgloves. The tubular, bell-shaped flowers are tightly packed along sturdy stems, creating a refined vertical accent in spring gardens.

Unlike classic foxgloves that often bloom only in their second year, the Dalmatian series is bred to flower reliably the first season from planting, making it far more predictable in garden and landscape use.

Why We Like It (Our Trials)

In our trials, ‘Dalmatian White’ has performed exceptionally well in partial shade with consistent moisture. It establishes quickly, produces strong, upright flower spikes, and maintains a neat basal rosette even after bloom.

We especially appreciate its versatility in design. The pure white flowers brighten shaded borders, pair beautifully with pastels and bold colors alike, and attract bees and other pollinators during the spring bloom window.

Foxglove ‘Dalmatian White’ vs. Other Foxgloves

Compared to traditional Digitalis purpurea types, ‘Dalmatian White’ offers earlier flowering, more uniform growth, and better first-year performance. This makes it easier to use in planned garden designs.

When compared to taller foxgloves, this variety provides a more compact, controlled height, reducing the need for staking. For gardeners seeking a reliable, elegant foxglove with clean white blooms and strong garden performance, Foxglove ‘Dalmatian White’ is an excellent choice.
