===== Magical 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 their cottage's stone floors. This was done to keep evil from entering the house. Foxglove is poisonous; do not take internally.
