Digitalis includes about 20 species of plants that are commonly grown as tall BIENNIALS that reach up to 1.5m. With their attractive
spikes of bell-shaped flowers in a variety of colours, they are very popular in flower gardens.
Grows well in almost any soil, and can grow in a full sun or partly shaded area.
NOTE: ALL PLANT PARTS ARE TOXIC
POISONOUS!
While the plant is used medicinally for treating heart problems, this is ONLY DONE BY MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS and should NEVER be attempted at home.
An infusion of the plant prolongs the life of cut flowers and it is a good companion plant, ensuring bees are attracted to pollinate food crops grown nearby. An apple-green dye is obtained from the flowers.
