Café Crème Digitalis Seed
Productive plants and strong, stiff stems.
Second-year flowering. Petite, 1/2", pearl-gray blooms with brown and gold details. The colors blend together to create an overall mocha/cream palette, giving this beauty its delicious name. Hoodlike flowers form around the stiff, strong stems. In our trials, these plants are very productive, yielding 10–15 stems per plant. Can be fall or spring-planted. NOTE: Flowering occurs in late spring in the second season of growth.Specs:
