Digitalis obscura

Digitalis obscura blooms in June with sunset-red and gold flowers with red veins and spots. The tubular flowers attract hummingbirds. It has narrow, evergreen leaves on bushy plants.

Digitalis obscura is native to Spain and North Africa. Unlike common foxglove, it is drought tolerant and well-suited to rock gardens with good drainage. It can be slow getting started, but it is a reliable perennial once established.
