   hmmmm….but if it was foxglove wouldn’t the flowers all have thin short pedicels?

   Looks more like chelone (turtlehead) to me

   Yep,I see the pedicels on the Foxglove link I shared but none on the turtlehead. Yummy, more crow!

   Physostegia virginiana

   While this plant is a native, it isn’t a well behaved one.

   Spreading by underground stolons this thug can rapidly fill a flower-bed and take years of diligent efforts to eradicate.

   I’d plant this beauty off in a bed alone, and treat it like mint.
