It grows wild here... we see it all over in meadows and alongside the freeway... So we have to keep it out of the pasture though there's some out in the non-fenced parts out back. I took this pic of some up at Capital Forest.
I'd be afraid to eat anything I picked:)
One of the types of seed I got in the mail the package said the plant was poisionous , I've pretty much decided to not even plant it. With two babies around, it's not worth it.
Is Foxglove bad for humans? The package didn't say.

Foxglove is Digitalis. Common Foxglove, D. purpurea. Stem leaves short stalked, becoming smaller toward top of plant; these leaves are the source of digitalis, a valued but highly poisonous medicinal drug.
Lupine is Lupinus. Fabaceae (Leguminosae) It lists several varieties but doesn't list any of them as poisonus. I'll see what some of my other books say 'cause I sure seem to recall that they are.
