It is also naturalised in parts of North America and some other temperate regions. The plant is a popular garden subject, with many cultivars available. It is the original source of the heart medicine digoxin (also called digitalis or digitalin).This biennial plant vegetates in the first year after sowing, before flowering and then dying in the second year. It often self-seed to produce new plants.
