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.
