Dalmatian Peach Pelleted (F1) Digitalis Seed
Blooms the first year from seed.
Bells sit closely to one another on sturdy stems borne on vigorous plants. Exquisite color is a shade somewhere between creamy peach and pale shell-pink. Peach color is most intense at the lightly freckled throat. Bells form on one side of the stem. Best when treated as a fall or spring-planted hardy annual, as winter survival is generally poor when treated as a perennial. Seed has been pelleted for ease of sowing. Certified-organic growers, please check suitability with your certifier. Pelleted seeds. Ht. 24–36". Avg. 31,700 seeds/oz. Packet: 50 seeds.
