 ... all parts of the plant are toxic if eaten. So maybe not a good plant for a child friendly garden. However fox gloves are easy to grow from seed, they self set everywhere. If you wish you can buy plants easily on or of line at a garden centre cost a few pounds for the plants about £1or £2 for the seeds. Fox gloves are biennial or perennial plants. They are native to the Mediterranean region but grow well here. The first year of growth they will make a rosette of leaves then the second year the flower spike will grow...more
