mullein foxglove

Mullein foxglove (Digitalis thapsi 'Spanish Peaks') should be watered regularly throughout spring and summer, although the amount of water needed depends upon the soil and weather conditions. In general, it should be watered once every 7-10 days, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. The plant should be watered deeply so that moisture reaches the roots, and avoid overwatering. If the soil is especially dry, however, 1 may have to water it more often, or switch to watering every 5 days, depending on the plant's needs. During the fall and winter months, reduce watering to every 2-3 weeks, as the plant does not need as much water during these months.

Mullein foxglove (Digitalis thapsi 'Spanish Peaks') is a plant species that prefers full sun exposure. For optimal growth, it should be in direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily. It is also important to note that direct sunlight should be avoided during the hottest part of the day (between noon and 3 pm) as this can cause the leaves to burn and scorch. Mullein foxglove should be placed in a sunny area where it will get indirect sunlight for the remainder of the day.

Mullein foxglove (Digitalis thapsi 'Spanish Peaks') should be pruned soon after flowering in late spring or early summer. Cut back the main stem of the plant by 1-half to 1-third of its original height to encourage branching and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches and any stems that are crossing over each other. Then pinch back the tips of the remaining stems to help promote further branching. This will also help to keep the plant in a natural, low-growing form.
