Large Yellow Foxglove is a clump-forming perennial
herb up to 80 cm tall, with dark, evergreen leaves. It bears erect
one-sided spikes of tubular, creamy-yellow flowers 4-5 cm long. The
spikes can be a foot long. It forms a low rosette of dark green,
ovate-lanceshaped, finely toothed leaves. Each flower is intricately
marked with brown on the inside.
Originating in mountainous woodland and stony habitats from Europe to
western Asia, yellow foxglove is tolerant of dry shade but flourishes
with moisture.
