Foxglove

Garden lore has it that foxgloves are named for their flowers, which can easily slip onto your finger like the tip of a glove. This genus of biennials originated in Europe, northern Africa, and parts of Asia. In its first year, young plants grow tight rosettes of long oblong leaves. Spikes of purple, pink, white, and yellow blooms shoot up the following spring and early summer. Keep the plants well watered during dry weather - the bigger and healthier they are the first year, the more stunning the display will be when they bloom the following year. Foxgloves will naturalize in Coastal gardens.

Foxglove species are poisonous. The whole plant is toxic to humans, although the smaller upper leaves are particularly potent.
 
How To Grow Foxglove
Foxgloves Purple

Foxgloves Purple

Biennial
Digitalis purpurea
Tubular, nodding flowers are often speckled and tumble on husky spires to 2m (6') tall. They are welcome in the border, woodland, or whenever they randomly self-sow. Foxglove flowers late spring to summer, and may flower again from the tops of the stems in late summer or fall. Sow indoors in early spring for flowers the first year. Transplant to naturalize happily at the back of the border. Foxgloves thrive in moist, shady areas, but can stand full sun if they are kept watered.
