Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of our favorite Foxgloves – tightly packed, smallish brownish white flowers (sounds yucky, looks awesome!) in midsummer have a regal look. 3-5' tall & 18" wide – full sun to light shade, avg. water – Combine with other tall perennials or use as a 'skyline' accent among shorter companions. Very 'perennial'. An excellent choice!! Rare.
Chocolate foxglove. A perennial form of Digitalis, with arresting spires of copper to chocolate brown tubular glowers on 18-28" stems which appear in June and early July. It is native to Spain
A perennial "Foxglove" that grows from a 6"-10" plant with flowing dark green foliage. In early Summer each plant sends up a slender spike of brilliant yellow, small pendulous flowers. It flowers for quite an extended period and will self seed graciously to form a lovely colony.
Native to the mountains of northern Spain this perennial species features tall spires of rusty orange flowers, bees love Foxgloves and they have evolved a classic lip for them to land on and stamens that wipe pollen on their backs. ZONE 5
