Detailed Information
While ‘Dalmatian Peach’ is a cultivar (a cultivated variety), the species it belongs to, *Digitalis purpurea* (common foxglove), is **native to Europe**.
More specifically, it is most commonly found in:
* **Western and Southwestern Europe:** including Great Britain, Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium, Netherlands, and Germany.
* It has naturalized in some parts of North America and other temperate regions.
So, even though “Dalmatian” is in the name of the cultivar, the *species* is not originally from Dalmatia (a region in Croatia). The name likely refers to some characteristic of the flower that reminded the breeder of something from that region.
Suitable in 3 gallon or larger, Needs excellent drainage in pots
