Has anyone grown Lutea? The small yellow perennial foxglove.

I know that as orange hawkbit . I’ve seen it called the names you used before. Probably was you  Smile . I just can’t put 2 & 2 together. I have to google it every time !  Blush .

Digit = Finger/toe so Foxglove brings up an image of a fox, with little foxglove flowers on each of his toes - like bright, manicured nails. Smile
