Foxglove is a native plant often seen in gardens. The spike-shaped inflorescence with two-sided funnel-shaped flowers in shades of white, yellow or pink are beautiful to behold. Digitalis is a very attractive plant for insects, bumblebees and bees, which can disappear completely into the flowers. Most species are biennial, the first year a rosette of lanceolate leaves develops, the second year an upright flower stalk grows from this rosette, which can sometimes grow more than two meters high. This native plant especially attracts bumblebees because their size and long tongues allow them to get deep into the funnel-shaped flowers. The flowers offer plenty of nectar and bloom one after another up along the stem, making food available for longer periods of time in the summer. In short, a good choice for lots of biodiversity in your garden. Beware: Digitalis is poisonous to humans and animals.
