Digitalis grandiflora (Big-flowered Foxglove) is a flowering plant in the family Plantaginaceae. In mountains it grows on warm, bushy slopes or areas left after logging.

It is a herbaceous plant whose flowering stem can reach a height of 70-120 cm. The yellow flowers are 3 to 4 cm long and show a netted brown marking in their interior.

As the plant contains cardenolides all parts are toxic. Its leaves contain 0.2 % glycosides of the digitoxin-type and about 0,1 % of the digoxin-type. Even so the plant is not used in the production of cardiac glycosides.
