Camelot Lavender Foxglove is a breakthrough in the world of these classic cottage garden plants. As part of the renowned 'Camelot Series', it is bred to reliably bloom in its first year from seed, unlike traditional biennial foxgloves. It sends up impressive, sturdy spires densely packed with outward-facing, lavender-purple bells, each delicately spotted inside. This tall, architectural plant provides weeks of romantic color and vertical drama from late spring to early summer, making it a more predictable and versatile choice for borders and backdrops.

Reliable First-Year Blooms from Seed: A true breakthrough, this cultivar flowers reliably in its first season, eliminating the long wait associated with traditional biennial foxgloves.
Tall Spires of Lavender Bells: Produces towering, sturdy flower spikes densely packed with soft lavender-purple, outward-facing blooms that are beautifully spotted inside.
Long-Lasting Architectural Display: Blooms for an extended period of 4 weeks or more, providing exceptional vertical interest and cottage garden charm.
Uniform Growth and High Germination: Part of the improved 'Camelot Series', known for even growth habits, high seed germination rates, and robust performance.
Versatile Garden and Cut Flower: Excellent for adding height to borders, woodland gardens, or as a stunning backdrop. The long stems are superb for cutting.

Knowing how we measure the size?

When browsing our plants, you may notice size terms such as Gallon, Multi, or Stand. These describe how a plant is grown, containerized, or structured at the time of sale — not just its height. Understanding these terms will help you choose the right plant for your space and expectations.

🌱 Gallon Size (Container Size)

Gallon refers to the size of the nursery container the plant is currently growing in (e.g. 1 Gallon, 5 Gallon, 15 Gallon).

A larger gallon size generally means:
- A more established root system
- A sturdier plant
- Faster visual impact after planting
Example:
- 5 Gallon: Ideal for residential gardens, easy to handle, good balance of value and maturity
- 15 Gallon: More mature, provides quicker results in the landscape

Note: Gallon size does not guarantee a specific height, as growth varies by species.

🌳 Multi (Multi-Trunk / Multi-Branch Form)

Multi indicates the plant has multiple trunks or main stems growing from the base.

Commonly used for:
- Ornamental trees
- Feature plants
- Japanese maples, olives, crepe myrtles, etc.
Why choose Multi:
- Fuller, more sculptural appearance
- Strong visual presence even at younger ages
- Popular for design-focused landscapes

🌲 Stand (Single-Trunk / Standard Form)

Stand (short for Standard) refers to a single, dominant trunk with a raised or naturally formed canopy.

Commonly used for:
- Shade trees
- Street trees
- Orchard and structural plantings
Why choose Stand:
- Clean, classic tree form
- Easier clearance for walkways and lawns
- Preferred for long-term structure and uniformity

🌿 Choosing the Right Size

If you want instant impact → larger Gallon, Multi form
If you want long-term structure → Stand form
If you want flexibility and value → mid-size Gallon containers

Q: Is it really a perennial?
A: It is typically grown as a biennial or a short-lived perennial. The key advantage of the 'Camelot' series is that it will flower in its first year if sown early, but it often performs best and may re-seed politely if conditions are right.

Q: Do I need to deadhead it?
A: Deadheading the main spike after blooming can encourage side shoots to flower and may prolong the display. However, if you want it to self-seed, leave a few flower spikes to mature and drop seed at the end of the season.
