How to prune digitalis 'camelot cream'

Cut main spike after flowering (early to midsummer); remove plant entirely in autumn if treating as biennial. Deadhead the central spike back to where side shoots are developing to encourage a secondary flush. If keeping as a short-lived perennial, cut back to the basal rosette in autumn. Replace with fresh plants annually or every two years for best performance.
