Are you looking to create a haven for bumble bees and hummingbirds in your garden? Consider adding ‘Candy Mountain’ foxglove! The rosy, upward-facing flowers bloom in early summer alongside your hydrangeas. This foxglove also thrives in containers if it sees at least four hours of sun daily. Foxglove (Digitalis) is a long-blooming cottage garden favorite that is an absolute magnet for pollinators, but deer make sure to stay away. Unlike some other foxglove varieties, ‘Candy Mountain’ is a true perennial that blooms year after year, not a biennial that only blooms in its second year.
