obedient plant

could it be a Hosta bloom?

Looks like the foxglove that volunteered in my back yard. Don't let animals or children get a hold of it. Foxglove is where they get digitalis, the heart drug. It can kill if ingested.

It really looks like an obedient plant. A picture of the bottom foliage would help. Does it spread through the roots?

HONEYSUKLE IS A VINE. OBEDIENT PLANT IS QUITE UNRULY IT SEEMS!

Here we call these foxglove. I have found it easier to have wildflower gardens, they are so much easier to have and always give me surprises as to color. A big plus has been -----NO WEEDING and more time to enjoy the garden. The foxglove provides such a great background for the wild violets, spider wort, along with the jack in the pulpit, verbenas, wild mint, and pink primroses.

Foxglove, or Digitalis, is a different plant. The blooms are not as outfacing as on the somewhat ironically named obedient plant, or Physotegia.

looks like foxglove to me :)

Yes, foxglove - or digitalis is the botannical name.

Foxgloves make a nice backdrop in a mixed flower garden because of their height.

Beard Tongue

obedient plant

Just found the handiest website---uswildflowers.com You can search their database by state, identification of flowers made simple divided by color. Books, websites, journals, maps of areas found, etc. Also common names (average of at least 4 for every flower listed so everybody is right) ----Except the buttercup. buttercup is only yellow.

Gloria K, Dragon Tongue (Beard Tongue) has much smaller flowers and does not grow quite as tall as Foxglove I plant Dragon Tongue in front of Foxglove so I am very familiar with it. Also Dragon Tongue has a "spike" with the flowers on it, where as FoxGlove has leaves and flowers on the same stem

It sure is not foxglove...cause I've got them planted dosen't look anything like this. Did some research and it is the OBEDIENT PLANT. Which comes in white and pink .

Foxgloves...love them!

Digitalis

Foxglove, same thing.

obedient plant has it! I have both fox glove & obedient plant. Obedient is just a little more fragile than fox glove that groves wild here.Both are beautiful in my garden..

You are right, foxglove does look so similar that it is onviously easy to confuse. Guess I better go back to school huh? Lol...sorry for faux pas.

Whatever it is, it is beautiful, wish I had some in my garden

Debi, you could certainly grow obedient plant in North Carolina.

I have so many I have to pull them out! I'm replanting them along the woods line. They can go nuts there.
