Simon C asked in Home & GardenGarden & Landscape · 1 decade ago

What is this plant / weed thats growing in my garden?

I noticed the leaves growing after the harsh winter we had and thougt i strange because it just seemed to appear in the garden and is the only one. I was curious and let it grow, and in the last month, the stem has grown and yielded pink / magenta flowers.

I just can't identify it !

    It`s definitely a Foxglove / Digitalis.

    If you leave it after its flower has finished it will self seed and you will get another even a few other plants in a different spot next year.

    Yes, foxglove. Spectacular flowers. I'd leave it as they look good but they are toxic, wash hands after handling and don't let children play with them.

    Looks like foxglove to me, the plant is harmful if it is ingested I would recommend pulling it out.
