Digitalis purpurea is one species of plant that is unpredictable. It changes location and form. Just when you think it is in the right place in a border, it moves or changes height or color. Then you have tall plants in the front and short plants in back.

Where you planted a soothing white ends up hot pink with spots. I will not complain simply because I love them any where they show up no matter the height and color.

I did count on a white version called Dalmation to brighten a shady spot, but pink has been just as nice.

The blooms are magical to me. The ones with the pointed bottom lips remind me of elf hats and the ruffled blooms look like fairy bonnets.

It is one plant I intend to have in my garden forever. Shifty and sly as they are, they are still one of my favorite flowers.

Gotta love a surprise. Especially when itβs that lovely.

Mine don’t seed themselves reliably, except in pots with other plants. I have to transplant those volunteer seedlings to the perennial beds. It’s worth the effort though, because foxgloves are elegant as well as sneaky!
