Foxgloves

            Foxgloves (Digitalis purpurea) is a species of flowering plant in the genus Digitalis, in the family Plantaginaceae (formerly treated in the family Scrophulariaceae), native and widespread throughout most of temperate Europe. 
            Digitalis purpurea is an herbaceous biennial or short-lived perennial plant. The leaves are spirally arranged, simple, 10-35 cm long and 5-12 cm broad, and are covered with gray-white pubescent and glandular hairs, imparting a woolly texture. Digitalis species thrive in acidic soils, in partial sunlight to deep shade, in a range of habitats, including open woods, woodland clearings, moorland and heath margins, sea-cliffs, rocky mountain slopes and hedge banks.
