A dainty, evergreen perennial.

Has mid to deep green, lance-like leaves which are fringed with tiny white hairs. Bears small, tubular, pale yellow to almost pale green flowers.

Flowers in early to mid summer.

Loves a well drained but moist, slightly acidic soil in sun or light shade. Has done well under trees in containers here. Very like a small D. lutea, it may not be the most garden worth Foxglove available but it's a nice little plant all the same.
