Foxglove

Digitalis Purpurea
**Poisonous**

Parts Used: whole living plant

Magical Use: grown in gardens it protects the garden and home. Also said to attract fairy folk. The leaves were once thought to have been used to generate a black dye with which housewives would paint a black x to protect the home. (However given the deadly nature of this plant please do not use without the aid of a professional)

I love this plant but cannot grow it myself because I have a cat who eats every green plant she can get near. Foxglove is very deadly if ingested, not good for little kitties
