Digitalis purpurea
Vingerhoedskruid
Foxglove or lady's glove
A beautiful flower for in the garden , but all are poisonous to humans and some animals and can be fatal if ingested. The flowers are native in Europe.
Se trata de una planta bienal que florece desde entrada la primavera hasta casi el final del verano.
Esta planta tiene un uso ornamental evidente pero también se cultiva para extraer el principio activo que contiene, altamente tóxico, la digitalina. Este principio activo se usa en medicina desde el siglo XVIII para tratar problemas cardíacos. Si la cultivamos en el jardín hay que tener precaución con los niños y las mascotas para que no puedan consumir ninguna parte de la planta.
According to Wikipedia Digitalis purpurea, the foxglove or common foxglove, is a species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae, native to and widespread throughout most of temperate Europe. It has also naturalised in parts of North America and some other temperate regions. The plant is a popular garden subject, with many cultivars available. It is the original source of the heart medicine digoxin (also called digitalis or digitalin). This biennial plant grows as a rosette of leaves in the first year after sowing, before flowering and then dying in the second year (i.e. it is monocarpic). It generally produces enough seeds, however, so that new plants will continue to grow in a garden setting.
