Digitalis purpurea ssp. heywoodii

Foxgloves are the quintessential English cottage garden plant. Most are biennials or short-lived perennials that self-sow like crazy and grow happily in any reasonably fertile soil in sun or shade. Deer and rabbit resistant.

Silver Fox is a traditional biennial foxglove. We love it for its creamy white, flushed pink, lightly freckled blooms that are held on tall spikes above very cool wooly, silver foliage.
