Digitalis lutea, commonly known as Small Yellow Foxglove, bears wands of dainty, soft yellow, tubular flowers in summer on robust stems clothed in narrow, bright green leaves above basal rosettes.

Reliably perennial, it bulks up quickly and brings subtle colour to woodland planting and shady cottage gardens. The stems remain upright after flowering, providing further interest into autumn. It grows best in neutral to alkaline, humus-rich soil in partial shade, but tolerates other conditions provided the soil is neither too dry nor waterlogged.

All parts are poisonous.

An exquisite little plant with smooth shiny leaves. It's flowering was spoilt by the drought, but the leaves have returned in the autumn. Of course, this may be the kind of plant that's not worth growing if June droughts become the norm.
