Foxgloves are European woodland plant that come in many forms - some dwarf and others very tall, usually in shades of pink and red. Most varieties are biennial, meaning they flower in their second year, before setting seed and dying. Foxgloves look fantastic in the middle to back of ornamental borders, where their tall flowering spires lift the eye to the furthest reaches of the garden. They're also much prized by bumblebees and other pollinating insects.

Digitalis parviflora is an unusual perennial foxglove with tall spikes of orange-brown flowers. The foliage at the base is dark green and glossy.

Keep the soil moist in summer, and cut back the flowered spikes to encourage more sideshoots. Mulch in early spring.
