Pink Foxglove (Digitalis pururea) I bought one of these at the Urban Gardener on the North side and It does extreamly well every year in a spot where I have trouble growing lots of other plants.Foxglove is a poisonous plant so keep that in mind with children and pets. Pink Foxglove grows to a height of up to 60" mine has not reached this height and most foxglove I have seen around Pittsburgh usually reaches about 24" to 48" tall and has a spread up to 24". Foxglove likes full sun to part shade and usually blooms in late spring early summer. I do have a yellow fox glove that blooms in August September and seems to have a much smaller growth habit. Foxgloves can be perennial or Biennial. Pink Foxglove attracts butterflies and hummingbirds and it is deer and rabbit resistant. Foxglove is great for the back of boarders or as a specimen plant and can naturalize. Grow in zones 4-8.
