Digitalis ferruginea 'Gelber Herold'

Digitalis 'Gelber Herold' blooms in midsummer with towering spikes of soft tan-yellow flowers with rusty veining. I'm just crazy about digitalis species, and Rusty Foxglove is one of my favorites.

Gelber Herold foxglove self-sows freely in my zone 5 garden. It is a biennial or short-lived perennial. It makes a good companion plant for ornamental grasses.

Also known as Digitalis ferruginea 'Gigantea Yellow Herald'. Deer resistant. Hardy in zones 4-9.
