Large Yellow Foxglove
Large Yellow Foxglove (Digitalis grandiflora)
Large Yellow Foxglove (Digitalis grandiflora), also known as Perennial Foxglove, is a robust, long-lived perennial featuring elegant, pale yellow, bell-shaped flowers with subtle veining. Unlike biennial foxglove varieties, this species reliably returns each year, making it a valuable addition to shaded gardens, cottage landscapes, and woodland borders. Blooming from late spring through summer, it provides a soft, natural elegance while attracting pollinators.
