I'm fairly certain that foxglove parent #2 was Digitalis parviflora (at least, that's what the label said) which is pictured here. This plant appeared to die after flowering, but I now see some shoots coming up, so it may flower again next year. The shiny, dark green, strappy leaves on the seedlings are a close match with D. parviflora, and the seedlings' flower colour is more tan in real life than the pink shade that the camera picked up. I'm pretty sure that there was no input from the Spanish foxglove (D. thapsi?) with grey leaves and lilac-pink flowers.
