Description
Grecian foxglove is a perennial plant that forms a rosette its first year, then bolts and sends up a single flowering stem its second and subsequent years. The flowering stems are unbranched and grow 2- 5 feet tall with many tubular flowers arranged in an elongated cluster. Flowers are creamy white to pale yellow with brownish-purple venation inside. Leaves are simple, alternate, and oblong-shaped with a pointed tip. Flowering stems and calyxes are covered with woolly hairs. Flowering occurs in the summer. The flowers are pollinated primarily by bees, after which seed-containing oval pods are produced. Seed production is prolific and is the only means of reproduction for this species.
