Digitalis purpurea. Tubular, nodding flowers are often speckled and tumble on husky spires to 2m (6') tall. Foxglove flowers late spring to summer and may flower again from the tops of the stems in late summer or fall. Sow indoors in late winter to transplant early spring for flowers the first year. Foxgloves thrive in moist, shady areas, but can stand full sun if they are kept watered. Each plant produces thousands of tiny seeds - to avoid self-sowing, cut the stalks down as soon as flowering has finished.

Foxgloves are noted as an invasive plant in British Columbia. 

All parts of the Foxglove plant are poisonous.
