Characteristics:

• Height: Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' typically grows to a height of 24 to 36 inches (60 to 90 cm), making it a commanding presence in garden borders and woodland settings.
• Spread: The spread of this variety ranges from 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm), forming compact clumps of foliage that provide a verdant backdrop for its towering flower spikes.

Maintenance:

To ensure the health and vitality of Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' and maximize its ornamental impact, regular maintenance practices are essential. Here are some maintenance guidelines to help you cultivate this elegant addition to your garden:

• Sunlight: Plant Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' in a location that receives partial to full sun, although it can tolerate some dappled shade, particularly in warmer climates. Adequate sunlight is crucial for robust growth and abundant flowering.
• Soil: Ensure well-draining soil with good fertility and organic matter content. Incorporate compost or aged man

ure into the planting site to improve soil structure and provide essential nutrients. Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during periods of active growth and flowering. Water deeply and regularly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between watering sessions. Avoid overwatering, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot and other fungal diseases.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the base of Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' to conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain a cool root environment. Mulching also helps protect the roots from temperature fluctuations.
• Fertilization: Feed Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, just as new growth emerges. Repeat applications every 4 to 6 weeks during the growing season to promote healthy foliage and robust flowering.
• Support: Provide support, such as stakes or rings, to prevent the tall flower spikes of Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' from bending or breaking in windy conditions. Install supports early in the season to provide adequate support as the plant grows.
• Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes promptly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. Trim the faded blooms back to the base of the plant using clean, sharp pruners.
• Division: While Digitalis purpurea 'Dalmation White' is typically grown as a biennial, it may self-seed and return as a short-lived perennial in favorable conditions. To rejuvenate the plants and maintain their vigor, divide overcrowded clumps every few years in early spring or fall. Replant the divided sections in well-prepared soil enriched with compost.
