Enchanting Foxglove Seed

Foxgloves are thought of very much as a British 'cottage garden' plant but in fact they are native to Europe, Asia and north-west Africa. The name 'Foxglove' means 'finger-like' a reference to the shape of the flower. Aside from being an attractive plant in flower, an extract from the plant has been used over the years to treat heart disease, which is perhaps surprising as the plant and seed of the foxglove are poisonous if eaten.
