Dalmatian Peach -(F1) Digitalis Seed

Blooms the first year from seed. Conventional seed with conventional pelleting. This seed is not NOP-compliant.
Bells sit closely to one another on sturdy stems borne on vigorous plants. Exquisite color is a shade somewhere between creamy peach and pale shell-pink. Peach color is most intense at the lightly freckled throat. Bells form on one side of the stem. Best when treated as a fall or spring-planted hardy annual, as winter survival is generally poor when treated as a perennial. Pelleted seeds.
