Forms an evergreen rosette of dark-green lance-shaped leaves with fine-hairy margins, from which its upright flower stalks arise in spring. The flowers are in the ochre end of the foxglove spectrum, netted with brown; that makes them similar to plants I've previously grown under the names of D. lanata and D. lamarckii. When my seedlings reach maturity I hope to discern whether there is any notable difference from those species.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston. About my plant portraits
