All parts of the plant are poisonous; however, the plant is less toxic than the common foxglove (D. purpurea). The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is cross-pollinated by long tongued bumblebees. It can naturalize or persist at a site for many years. Deer and rabbit resistant.
