Digitalis lutea (Straw Foxglove)
Foxglove Digitalis lutea produces tall spikes of small lemon-yellow flowers, often with brown spotted throats. Cut back stems after first blooming to encourage additional flowering. Digitalis lutea is an evergreen perennial that is short-lived, so it should be frequently divided. Self sows and will naturalize if some seed stems are allowed to mature. A small foxglove, ideal for containers or the front of a border. Hardy and thrives in sun or shade. Comes true from seed, so good for naturalising.
CAUTION: All parts of this plant are highly toxic to both humans and pets if ingested; however, the plant is less toxic than the common foxglove (D. purpurea).
Light: part sun to full shade and is best in evenly moist, rich, organic soil. It tolerates some sun if soil is kept moist.
Height: 1-3 ft. x 1 ft.
Bloom Color: Yellow
Bloom time: late spring to mid-summer
