Digitalis grandiflora

A graceful, long-flowering foxglove species producing soft buttery-yellow, tubular blooms with subtle brown speckling inside the throat. Unlike the more familiar biennial foxgloves, this is a reliable perennial that returns year after year, forming neat clumps of upright, elegant flower spikes.
