Digitalis ferruginea - Rusty foxglove

continental : We suggest a quite sheltered location, so that the plant can be exposed to sunrays only during the coolest hours of the day.
We suggest locating the The Digitalis ferruginea in the garden, since it is a very rustic plant.

alpine : Locate this plant in a partially shaded place, where it is exposed to sunrays during the coolest hours of the day.
We advise locating these plants outdoors, in the garden or on the terrace; they can stand the cold and heat.

mediterranean : We suggest to locate these plants in bright places, where they can receive direct sunlight only during the coolest hours of the day.
Let’s cultivate the The Digitalis ferruginea in the garden, in full ground, because it’s completely rustic.

continental : The Digitalis ferruginea needs very frequent watering; during this period of the year we advise watering even every 0-1 weeks using 1,5 litres of water, trying to keep the substratum always slightly damp.

alpine : We advise frequent watering, every 1-2 weeks using 0,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always a bit humid.

mediterranean : The watering must be very regular and frequent, using 2,5 litres of water, so that the soil is always slightly damp, avoiding excesses and water stagnation. A good rule is to wet every -0-0 weeks.

Fertilize Digitalis ferruginea : During the summer months let’s fertilize annual plants frequently, adding some fertilizer for flowering plants to the irrigating water, every 15-20 days.

Pests Digitalis ferruginea : During the summer months it is best to apply precise treatments, specifically against each type of parasite, to be used only when we have already noticed the presence of fungus or insects on our plants; these treatments should be applied during the coolest hours of the day. In general during this period of the year an infesting of ticks and rust is very likely to occur, because its development is favoured by dry climates.
