Digitalis Lutea Foxglove


Slightly glossy rich green leaves form a basal clump, from which stout stems arise in early summer bearing small soft yellow trumpets that are attractive to pollinating insects. More reliably perennial than many other foxgloves, it makes a welcome addition to the woodland floor, where it will settle in nicely with ferns and other shade-lovers.

This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.

  • Position: partial shade
  • Soil: moist but well-drained, preferably alkaline soil
  • Rate of growth: fast growing
  • Flowering period: June to July
  • Hardiness: fully hardy
    Size: 0.3m wide x 1m high, mature growth



  • Garden care: Ensure that the soil is kept moist in summer. After flowering cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Cut down to the ground after flowering. 

  • Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-ro tted organic matter around the plant in early spring.

  • Humans/Pets: TOXIC if eaten

Any questions, please ask. Many thanks!
