Foxgloves are opportunists which can turn up almost anywhere.


Many casuals have seeds that will survive for ages in the soil; I
don't know if foxglove is one such. They evolved to germinate and
set seed when a tree came down in the woodland, and wait in the soil
until that happened again.


I once found what I identified as hemlock growing in the front garden. I
have never seen one before or since.
