💡 Helpful Tips:
• Biennial Life Cycle: Digitalis blooms beautifully in its second year, but this variety may bloom in its first season under ideal conditions.
• Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to encourage new flowers.

🌱 Fun Fact: The name “Digitalis” comes from the Latin word for “finger,” referring to the glove-like shape of its flowers. It has a rich history in traditional medicine and is the source of the heart medication digitalin.
