What customers say
Customers adore Digitalis purpurea 'Candy Mountain' for its unique upward facing blooms and robust stems that require no staking. This plant creates a spectacular focal point, often exceeding expectations in height and color saturation while actively attracting hummingbirds. While the initial plant quality received is highly rated, some buyers find the premium price point slightly high relative to the starter size. A common point of confusion involves its biennial nature, leading to no blooms the first year. However, the magnificent second year display and subsequent self seeding typically convert skeptics into enthusiastic repeat purchasers. It is a high impact, high quality addition for those understanding its growth cycle and premium cost.
