I'm in the Pacific North West where we have very wet winters and I find this Digitalis to be very long lived. It does need good drainage.
I grew this from seed in 2001 and it gets bigger and better each year.

Cultivars: Terracotta (slightly lighter flowers), Milk Chocolate

A very different foxglove from Northern Spain. Small plant with lance shaped/ sometimes slightly toothed leaves often with tiny white hairs. 2ft spires of tightly packed tiny flowers which can range from dark orange to deep brown, look very closely and you may see a slight bit of purple on the flower lip. Sometimes flowers all round the stem.

Not pretty but certainly a comment inducing flower.

Easy from seed but requires a dry winter to survive.
