Foxgloves

Digitalis purpurea (Scrophulariaceae) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Conspicuous height with a nitrogen foil A tubular flourish and biennial splice- The loveliest fiesta in a sandy loam soil Discovers importance as seedlings suffice Flowering spikes sharing things that we love Pave avenues deep with a dark purple haze, On various occasions, display the foxglove Pixie hat throngs viewing grassy green baize A prominent place giving height to all orders Can constitute class looking down on its kin Queen of the hills whilst the smallest of borders Look back at the foxglove to see if it is in. Optimum lies where the reasons are many When sharing the secrets foxgloves take part Illusions repeat, diagnosed, though if any Embrace digitalis, for strengthening the heart.
