Description
editDigitalis sceptrum (previously known as isoplexis sceptrum) is a tender evergreen shrub in the foxglove family, growing up to 1.8m. high. Leaves are toothed and oblong or ovate in shape; flowers consist of racemes of yellow, orange or tawny russet, often netted with chocolate-brown, appearing in summer.[3] Digitalis sceptrum prefers wooded habitats, cloud forests and steep slopes, often near water. It may take up to five years to reach full flowering maturity.[4]
