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.

My woodland garden of ferns, hostas selfsown foxgloves. All has been removed except for along the back fence to accommodate lawn (yuck) for another generation‘s wishes.

What a depressing development. Other generations are the worst. Never have children. Never have parents.
