About

Digitalis isabelliana, known commonly as Canary Island foxglove, Isabel's foxglove, or Gran Canaria Pineforest foxglove, is a type of flowering shrub, one of three species of foxglove native to the Canary Islands.

Where it grows

Digitalis isabelliana grows primarily in the subtropical biome of the Canary Islands, where it is endemic to Gran Canaria, where it occurs on the moister northeast and centre of the island, favouring the undergrowth beneath stands of Canary Islands pine. In the wild it favours damp and wooded areas.
