If Digitalis is grown in conditions it likes, it will be a reliable perennial; otherwise it will be short-lived and seem like a biennial. To help the plant maintain its vigor, divide every other year (once flowering is finished) to preserve a vigorous plant. Spring cut dead foliage only; deadhead after blooming.
