Digitalis purpurea 'Virtuoso' White - 2026

Digitalis purpurea ‘Virtuoso White’ is a refined biennial or short-lived perennial valued for its upright spires of pure white tubular flowers, often with subtle pale spotting that adds texture without overwhelming the clean bloom. The flowers rise above a rosette of soft, dark green foliage that remains attractive even when not in flower, providing contrast and structure in garden plantings. Its stately form makes it a striking addition to cottage borders, mixed beds, or wildlife gardens where height and a splash of brightness are needed.

‘Virtuoso White’ thrives in moist, well-drained soil rich in organic content, and flourishes in full sun to partial shade. Deadheading spent flower spikes helps prolong the flowering season and prevents unwanted self-seeding; spacing plants to allow airflow reduces disease risk. With reasonable care, this cultivar offers reliable performance and strong pollinator interest, especially in garden settings that balance foliage texture with bright blossoms.
