(Digitalis purpurea) These beautiful flowers come to you from the wilds of Whatcom County! The white and pink foxgloves with spotted throats that dot the hills and roadsides and rush to fill in otherwise vacant and recently cleared land could be yours. Long-lasting showy perennials and one of the first flowers to look forward to in early summer. If you do not already have hummingbirds visiting your garden, these beauties will lure them in to stay. Blooms second year. Please remember that All parts of this plant are a potent herb and poisonous if incorrectly ingested! (photo: Brett Cole)
