A clump-forming, herbaceous perennial to 60cm with narrowly oval, mid-green, glossy leaves. Dense, leafy spires of soft yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers to 3cm long are produced over a long period in summer. 
Foxgloves naturally grow in woodlands and glades, so they prefer dappled or light shade. They also like free-draining soil with plenty of added organic matter, similar to the loamy soil found in woodlands, enriched with years of decomposed leaves. Most foxgloves will grow in large containers, adding valuable height to displays. Use loam-based compost and position in a sheltered spot in light shade, and remember to water regularly, especially in summer.
