CARE GUIDE

How to keep Digitalis Davisiana.

Water

For the first month, water digitalis davisiana regularly, ideally every few days. During the spring and summer, water it once or twice a week, but reduce this frequency in the autumn and winter. To check if watering is needed, make sure the top few inches of soil are dry. In warm weather, water the plant at its base until the soil is damp.

Pruning

Digitalis davisiana is a perennial plant characterized by clusters of tubular flowers that grow in a spike-like formation. To encourage healthy growth, prune the plant in early spring by removing any dead stems. After the flowering period, trim away the spent blooms to help the plant redirect its energy to the roots. Ensure good air circulation around the plant and use clean tools during pruning to minimize stress on the plant.
