Digitalis purpurea
Hardy biennial
The old favourite wild pink and purple-spotted trumpets on a tall spike
that flower in midsummer. Great attraction for Bumblebees, and larval food
for a number of moths.
Foxgloves will seed themselves around the garden in shady areas,
but don’t become invasive.
All parts of this plant are poisonous. Sow in autumn for next year's flowers.
