Why Grow Yellow Foxglove?
Yellow foxglove offers a softer, more understated alternative to the common purple foxglove while retaining the classic elegance of the genus. Well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalistic plantings, it pairs beautifully with ferns, columbine, and other shade-loving perennials. Once established, plants are reliable, long lived, and lightly self-seeding.

Medicinal Uses
Historically, Digitalis species were used in Western medicine as a source of cardiac glycosides.
