Foxglove is a flowering plant known for its tall spikes of tubular flowers, which can be purple, pink, or white. It typically grows in woodlands and gardens and is native to Europe and parts of Asia. The scientific name for foxglove is Digitalis purpurea, and it thrives in well-drained soil and partial shade. The plant is notable for its medicinal properties, as it contains compounds used to treat heart conditions. However, all parts of the foxglove plant are toxic if ingested, making it important to handle with care. Its striking appearance also makes it a popular choice in ornamental gardening.
