There are many other species of Digitalis that are truly perennial. Below are photos taken yesterday of D. grandiflora and D. ferruginea 'Gigantica' that we have had for several years and are just starting this year's blooms. (Oddly, D. ferruginea is listed as a biennial.) We have several other species such as D. lutea, D. parviflora and D. thaspi 'Spanish Peaks' that are about to produce blooms again after multiple years in our garden.
