Soft summer color

Name: Yellow foxglove (Digitalis grandiflora)
USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 8
Size: 3 feet tall and 18 inches wide
Conditions: Partial shade; moist, well-drained soil
Peak Time: Early to midsummer

Yello foxglove is tolerant of dry shade but flourishes with moisture. Usually described as a perennial, it is more accurate to call it a short-lived perennial, if the flowering stalk is cut down after the blooms have faded, it may rebloom in fall. When a few flower stalks are left, the plant self-sows. Deer will avoid it
