Around 3-4 years ago I obtained some seed from a seed exchange that was
supposed to be Digitalis lutea, however after looking at various pictures
on
the web I am wondering if it might be D. grandiflora. Does anyone have any
definite identification points to look for in comparing the two plants?
The plants I have appear to be reliably perennial - I have one which is 3
years old.
I have posted some pictures on my web site @
http://www.paulgulliver.co.uk/Temp/

For reference the plant pictured is one year old and 45cm high (18
inches).

Thanks

Almost 100% D.lutea. Flowering time is correct and the leaves are not
toothed or hairy. If the flowers are about 1" then lutea for sure. Those of
grandiflora are twice as long.
