11 Foxglove Varieties to Try

'Polkadot Polly' foxgloves are covered with bell-shaped flowers in bright apricot-pink. The stems grow 23 to 35 inches long, so they're wonderful to cut for vases and bouquets. Because this foxglove is a hybrid, the plants do not produce seeds.

This beautiful hybrid is a cross between a foxglove (Digitalis) and an Isoplexis, a related plant from the Canary Islands. Flame-colored flowers appear from spring to late summer, and the plants are hardy in zones 8 to 11. Unlike many foxgloves, these plants are sterile, so they won't set seeds.

Foxglove 'Mountains Mixed' has strong stems and unique, upward-facing flowers that attract bees and make it easier for you to see them. The plants bloom in June and are hardy in zones 4 to 9. These foxgloves grow in full sun to part shade; the seeds germinate in 14 to 30 days.

This nearly carefree foxglove, 'Rose Shades', opens pale to deep pink flowers in late spring. Hardy in zones 4 to 8, the plants can take full sun to half shade. Use them in a cutting garden; they'll grow to 30 inches tall.
