Digitalis purpurea 'Apricot'

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.

'Apricot' is an extremely pretty variety with tall spires of pink, white, and apricot blooms.
