Camelot Lavender Foxglove is a compact herbaceous perennial with a uniform basal mound of downy green leaves. A strong tall spire packed with lavender tubular flowers with maroon speckled throats rises above the foliage in spring and lasts well into summer. Flowers best in part shade and rich, moist, well-drained acidic soils. The leaves are highly toxic.
