Digitalis ferruginea 'Gigantea'

Digitalis ferruginea 'Gigantea' has soft tan-yellow flowers with rusty-brown veins. It stands out like an exclamation point in the garden.

Rusty Foxglove grows well in part shade, and it's not too picky about the soil. I have a patch growing in the shade of an old blue spruce tree - almost the worst conditions you can imagine. This species thrives and reseeds there.

Digitalis ferruginea 'Gigantea' is a biennial or short-lived perennial. Deer-resistant.
