I love this article which encourages native plants but please remember that foxglove is not native to North America. It’s a very pretty plant and it’s done very well here (it’s naturalized that means it’s become wide-spread) which is why some people think it’s native but it’s from Europe and it’s highly toxic to dogs (and cats) and people. Please consider amending this article and/or run another article about plants that are pretty and easy to grow and sold in stores (like fox glove) but that should be avoided.
