The Dedaleira flower, also referred to as Digitalis purpurea, is a biennial plant belonging to the Plantaginaceae family. While it is indigenous to Europe, it is presently grown in several other regions of the world for its ornamental worth and curative features.

The Dedaleira flower has tall spikes of tubular flowers that come in shades of pink, purple, and white. The flowers bloom in the summer and attract bees and other pollinators. The plant can grow up to 6 feet tall and prefers moist, well-drained soil in partial shade.

The Dedaleira flower contains digitalis, a cardiac glycoside that can be used to treat heart conditions like atrial fibrillation and congestive heart failure. However, the plant is toxic and can cause serious health problems if ingested in large quantities. Therefore, it is important to use it only under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
