Lovely yellow-tinted-peach "finger of gloves...digit-alis" bell-flowers appear continuously mid-summer into fall on the strong upright 18" stems of this sterile (no spreading) perennial. S/MPPAF

Just lovely. Also known as the cv "Waldigone'. A sterile hybrid of two perennial species of Foxglove, D. obscura, native to the Mediterranean and D. grandiflora, native to colder areas of Europe. “Goldcrest’ combines the hardiness and durability of D. grandiflora with the intriguing rusty coloring of the D. obscura, on long blooming plants. Plants bear peachy yellow flowers with rust colored spotting and grow on 18” stems from midsummer through fall. Grow in soil that has good drainage. Hardy in zones 4-7, grows in sun/pt.shade and is deer resistant.
