Digitalis / Foxgloves

Providing striking color and architectural height to borders, Digitalis (Foxglove) is an eye-catching biennial or short-lived perennial, which forms tall spires, rising from a basal rosette of deep green oval leaves, of pendulous, funnel-shaped flowers. They come in shades of white, rose, pink to purple with purple and white speckled throats. Attractive to hummingbirds, which hover near the tubular blossoms and to birds which will flock to the seedheads in fall, this lovely plant naturalizes well as it self-sows profusely and will create lovely colonies in the landscape.
