“What is a Weed? A plant who’s virtues have never been discovered”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Well in this case the foxglove’s virtues have most definitely been discovered – both ornamental and medicinally. I have no plans to use it for the later – extracts from it are used to treat heart conditions making it toxic to those of us who aren’t chemists. I love to see flowers growing in vegetable gardens though – from nasturtiums to marigolds, Calendula to borage. They attract insects and give vegetable gardens character and colour. My foxglove will be just another addition – albeit a stunning one.<\/p>\n

So as I’ve decided that all the stray foxgloves are staying exactly where nature intended them to be, that now puts them firmly in the flower category …<\/p>\n
Do you have a favourite flower growing in your garden that others might classify as a weed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
