Perennial Deer Resistant
Foxglove
Digitalis purpurea
Foxglove sends up dramatic 3-5 foot spires of tubular flowers in late spring — one of the most vertical, architectural plants in the garden. Technically biennial, but self-sows so reliably it behaves as a perennial.

Partial shade to full sun (afternoon shade in hot climates). Rich, moist, well-drained soil. Allow spent flower stalks to dry for self-seeding. Toxic if ingested — keep away from children and pets. No deadheading needed if you want self-sowing.
