Digitalis purpurea 'Foxy'
Foxglove
USDA Hardiness Zone 4-9
Tubular flowers in mixed colors of lavender, pink and white shades, very often with mottling inside the flower.
This species of Digitalis is a biennial in the garden, though you may not realize it because it reseeds. An old-fashioned favorite!
