Foxglove, another of our wildflowers that was taken into gardens just as it was found in the wild centuries ago, is famous for its beauty, but also because it is poisonous. Should not be planted with children around. (You'll be fine. Just don't chew on it!) This quality of the plant also led to its use in medicine which is very important. The “digitalis” well-known in treatment of heart conditions is derived from this species.
Even though it's from faraway England, the wild foxglove is beautifully established and very popular in our woodsy Pacific Northwest, in places like the Oswald State Park in Oregon. The photo above was taken there by nature photographer, Don Paulson.

"I'm only giving 3 stars because I don't know if they'll live. They've sprouted though and I'm hopeful!"
"Started a couple trays of plants this winter for later planting outside. Growth easy in trays so far."
"These look awesome along the wood steps down to my backyard. It gets partial sun, but filtered. I bought the Partial Shade Wildflower Mix last year and planted them in a variety of areas around my wooded yard. This year in May I was delighted with these beautiful foxgloves blooms! I am mostly buying native plants these days to support local wildlife, but I think I'll have to buy these again as a guilty pleasure. ;)"
"I wanted a shade flower plant that was pretty, resistant to deer and low maintenance to plant in the treeline of the woods that back up to my house. . Thats what I expected that Foxglove was and I wasnt disapointed. My soil was shady shallow woodland soil, full of stones and roots. Needless to say,one cant broadcast them onto unprepared ground and expect them to grow. Instead I tilled the soil to about an inch deep and seeded about half and put the other half into planters in potting soil, and transplanted them into the same ground. About 1/10 of the broadcasted seeds sprouted and about 3/4 of the potted seeds sprouted. The first year: no blossoms( I expected that). The second year: so many blossoms that the neighbors were coming over to see them. Deer and other vermin dont touch them. I am very pleased."
"in 2003 I added some American Meadows foxglove and theee other seeds recommended for part shade to the grass mixture my contractor hydroseeded on a cut made on a steep north facing slope. In 2004 the floxglcve was magnificent. Ineed, it was the only flower seed that took. In 2013 it is all over every shady spot in my garden. I like the casual country garden look and am OK with that but beware. In the right conditions this is invasive."
"great plant along side hollhock at rear of beds. grows well in shaded woobland settings"
