Foxgloves (Digitalis) are poisonous, should we remove them from our garden? Do deer eat them?

February 15, 2022

We would not remove them. Foxgloves are poisonous but no more so than many other common perennials. (eg: daffodils, delphinium, larkspur, lily of the valley…) Deer are too smart and won’t eat them. Enjoy their beauty!
