100 seeds, PERENNIAL FOXGLOVE, pale yellow, tall and stately

Perennial yellow foxglove (Digitalis grandiflora) Perennial. Unlike other foxgloves, which are biennial, this pale yellow one is perennial. It grows to 3' will grow in full to part sun and will seed itself. It does appreciate water when dry but do not overwater it. It dislikes soggy conditions and transplanting. I suggest starting it in the place it is to grow. It can be started in pots but it's difficult to keep it happy. A little too much water and root rot takes out most of them. Transplant them up to bigger pots, and they sulk and threaten to die. One important note: ALL PARTS OF THIS PLANT ARE EXTREMELY POISONOUS AND IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSUMED. The genus Digitalis is the origin of the heart drug digitalis. Traditionally, it was used to treat dropsy, a condition that is characterized by swelling of the lower body. It was not known that it was caused by congestive heart failure but a wise woman, a woman who treated people for it with an herb got amazing results. It was illegal at the time to practice herbal medicine and a local doctor couldn't get it out of her what she used. He finally found out and promptly killed scores of people before he found the correct doseage which is very unpredictable and minute. Apparently, it was illeagal for her to practice medicine and cure people but ok for the doctor to practice medicine and kill people.
