Foxglove beardtongue

Penstemon digitalis

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Penstemon digitalis or foxglove beardtongue, possibly with a variety name such as 'Husker Red'? If it says Digitalis or just 'foxglove', it is a different plant. If the label is missing or unclear, choose I'm not sure; the picture does not confirm your plant.

Important precautions

Despite its name, this is not foxglove. Garden sources say it lacks foxglove's poison, but no veterinary poison record was found, so that is not proof it is safe. Don't let pets or children eat it. If the label says Digitalis, it is a different, poisonous plant.
