I am SO happy to know that this is a native plant! 

It is my most loved flowering plant, and I have shared the seeds to share the joy. Unfortunately, during a few bad climate years, I lost the plants and for whatever reason, my last saved seeds did not grow. 

On a hunt now that I know it is native ... I just called it "the old fashioned Foxglove. :) 


RE: previous post - I just realized this info did not state it was native to PA. It is wild in PA. I still love it.
