Stately spires of tubular apricot flowers appear in June and July held above rosettes of large hairy, dark green leaves. This unusual, apricot-coloured foxglove looks marvellous dotted through the back of a cottage-style scheme or for adding height and drama to a shady border. Flourishing in sun or shade, it makes an excellent companion for plants with purple or plum foliage or flowers. All parts of the plant may cause severe discomfort if ingested and contact with the foliage may irritate skin.
