The common foxglove is a self-seeding biennial or perennial herb introduced from Europe from the genus of plants of the figwort family. It is found in gardens, along roadsides, and in meadows in North America. The stems are about 90 cm tall with numerous large, thick leaves at the base. It develops a hanging cluster of tubular flowers of various colors and markings, usually spotted purple. The plants contain glycosides, chemicals that can be extracted from the leaves and used to regulate and strengthen a person's heartbeat. the whole plant is poisonous, DO NOT MESS WITH IT!!!it is found in Georgia(U.S.) but mostly in Europe and North Africa. the kind found in Georgia is extremely potent there have been movies and books about people rubbing it on letters with gloves on, and sending it to ppl, they absorb it through their fingers and die in 5-10 minutes.PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING STUPID WITH IT.IT CAUSES EXTREME INCREASE IN HEART RATE, HEART ATTACK, STROKE, ETC.
