The Large-flowered False Foxglove is a native, perennial wildflower named for its narrow, bell-shaped 1-1/2-inch-long flowers, which resemble those of the foxglove. The yellow bell flares into five almost equal lobes. It is a somewhat sprawling plant, growing up five feet tall, usually lower. The leaves are opposite, 2-1/2 to seven inches long and 3/4 to 2-1/2 inches across. They are lance-shaped to elliptic. The lobes of the leaves are irregular in size and shape, and they might have a few coarse teeth. The leaf surface is yellow green to dark green or purplish green. The lower leaf surface is slightly lighter in color than the upper surface. And the leaf surface is slightly covered with very short hairs. It grows in partial sun in mesic to dry conditions in sandy or rocky soil as found in rocky and sandy savannas, edges of limestone glades, woodland edges and bluffs, and hill and sand prairies. (SF)
