Digitalis obscura is a flowering plant, commonly known as the sunset foxglove or willow-leaved foxglove.
 It is native to regions in Spain and Africa, but can be grown as an ornamental flower around the world.
 It is a perennial woody plant belonging to the family Plantaginaceae. (
Along with the other foxgloves it used to be placed in the figwort family, Scrophulariaceae; however, recent genetic research has moved the genus Digitalis to a larger family.)
The sunset foxglove is similar to many of the foxglove species in its high toxicity and medicinal use as a source for the heart-regulating drug digoxin.
Its strikingly distinctive amber- to copper-colored flowers give the species its name and help distinguish it from other members of the genus.
