Digitalis purpurea. Strikingly beautiful plants that grow 3–5' tall and produce spikes of tubular flowers in a variety of pinks, purples, and whites, with speckled interiors, attracting pollinators like bees and hummingbirds. Blooming in late spring to early summer, these plants add vertical interest to garden beds or borders. They can tolerate light frost and cold winter conditions, but all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
