Foxglove is a biennial plant cultivated as an ornamental in the U.S. but also found wild in pastures and burned-over areas on the Pacific coast from British Columia to northern California. The stem is stout, succulent, simple and downy, growing to a height of 2 to 5 feet. The leaves are alternate, oblong-lanceolate, crenate, and downy, the lower petioled, the upper sessile. From June to September one-sided racemes of bell-shaped flowers appear, which are rose-colored to purple on the outside and whitish with red spots on the inside.
