Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea)
Folk Names: Cow-Flop, Deadmen's Bells, Dog's Finger, Lion's Mouth, Witches Bells, Witches Thimbles
**Not to be taken internally**
Uses:
Grown in the garden it protects it, as well as the home. In the past, housewives in Wales used the leaves of the foxglove to make a black dye, which they used to paint crossed lines on the cottage's stone floors. This was done to keep evil from entering the house.
