False foxglove's mauve blooms in mass covering a wet field are truly a spectacular sight in color and texture.
False foxglove (Agalinis spp.) can be seen growing along roadsides, in cleared or disturbed lots and pastures or fields. The plant prefers slightly damp, sandy soils.
As with other trumpet shaped flowers, False foxglove’s blooms are sought out by hummingbirds. Did you know a group of hummingbirds is called a 'charm'. Charming!
