Dalmatian Peach Foxglove is a compact herbaceous perennial with a basal mound of medium green leaves. A tall spire packed with a mix of large pale pink and peach tubular flowers with orange flecks inside rises above the foliage in spring and lasts well into summer. Flowers best in part shade and rich, moist, well-drained acidic soils. The leaves are highly toxic.
