This is not a Foxglove (Digitalis). It is a hybrid Beard-tongue (Penstemon). It looks like Penstemon x 'Rubicundus' or a similar cultivar.

Digitalis is native to the Europe, northwestern Africa, and southwestern Asia. Penstemon is native to North America & Central America. Both genera are in the Plantain Family (Plantaginaceae), but they are quite distinct morphologically.
