foxglove 'Pam's Split'

Also known as: Information to be completed

Pam's Split' is a biennial or short-lived perennial up to 1.2m high with overwintering rosettes of grey-green leaves, and several spikes of white flowers, spotted and blotched maroon inside, the corolla split rather than fused as in most foxgloves, in early summer; wild native foxgloves are a reliably good source of nectar for bumblebees, especially long-tongued bumblebees, and some but not all garden cultivars may also be good bumblebee plants: the flower shape of 'Pam's Split' may make it less attractive to bumblebees

Watering

Water regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 3-4 weeks during the growing season.

Pruning

No pruning required, but deadheading, cutting down dead flowering stems, will encourage growth the following year

Propagation

Propagate by seed, sown in spring; it will self-seed, but may not come true unless plants have been grown in isolation

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained humus-rich soil in light dappled shade, for example in a mixed bed or an open woodland garden, and add organic mulch; native foxgloves are usually found in the wild on acidic soils, but they can also grow on neutral soils and tolerate slightly alkaline soils
