Foxglove earned it's name from the long slender blossoms that resemble the snipped off fingers of a glove. Towering high above many other plants, this majestic wildflower is not only a showy addition to any flower bed or meadow, but a feast for hummingbirds as well. Caution should be exercised with pets or small children, as all parts of this plant are highly poisonous.
