Straw foxglove
Digitalis lutea
Straw foxglove is an elegant, clump-forming perennial that bears slender spikes of pale yellow tubular flowers in summer, making it a subtle and sophisticated alternative to the common purple foxglove. It thrives in partial shade with moist, well-drained soil and is an excellent choice for woodland borders or cottage gardens. Once established it is largely self-sufficient — divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor and deadhead to prevent excessive self-seeding.
