  A compact foxglove, that produces rich orange-brown flowers, each with a purple-brown lip, on densely-packed, robust stems in early summer. The basal rosette of foliage is a glossy and dark green, and provides a wonderful backdrop for the flowers. An unusual and exotic-looking cultivar, that is easy to grow.
  
  All parts of the plant may cause severe discomfort if ingested and contact with the foliage may irritate skin.
