Foxglove

Spacer
One of my garden favourites; the native foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) takes some beating. It sows itself prolifically but unwanted plants are easily pulled up. The tall purple/pink flower spikes are very attractive to bumblebees and very beautiful. Plants with completely white flowers also regularly crop up.
