Water:
Water common foxglove 'Camelot White' regularly for the first month, about once every few days. It prefers moisture without saturation to avoid crown rot. In spring and summer, water once or twice a week; reduce in autumn and winter. Check soil dryness before watering to ensure proper care.
Fertilize:
Common foxglove 'Camelot White' thrives without fertilizer if soil nutrients are adequate or compost is used. However, using a water-soluble fertilizer monthly in spring and summer can promote growth. Avoid direct contact with leaves or flowers to prevent nitrogen burn.
Pruning:
Common foxglove 'Camelot White' features tall spikes of tubular white flowers, reaching up to 1.2 meters (4 feet). Prune in early spring to remove damaged growth and promote flowering. Trim spent stalks post-bloom to prevent self-seeding and reduce fungal infections, ensuring a neat shape.
Propagation:
Common foxglove 'Camelot White' is low maintenance, as it often reseeds itself naturally. To control its spread, deadhead by summer's end. Propagation is easy using seeds; sow in late spring with loamy soil, maintain 21-26°C, and transplant seedlings by summer's end after acclimatization.
