Grecian or Wooly Foxglove is an excellent drought-tolerant perennial (sometimes biennial). Tall spikes of white and yellow flowers with brown or purple veins (this is far more attractive then it sounds!) adorn the plant from June to August.
This drought-tolerant foxglove can be grown under the south side of a tree where nothing else wants to grow. It will self-seed readily.
