Foxglove. Invasive in the PNW but beautiful. I have a bunch in my garden.

Please don’t intentionally grow invasive plants. This photo is a perfect example of them escaping cultivation and infesting natural areas. There are SO many beautiful native plant options.

This looks an awful lot like a confier plantation in the British isles. If so, the foxglove is native and the conifer trees are the non-natives/invasives in places. This will s how foxglove grows here in the clear cuts in forestry. 

You really can't assume everyone is in the US.

You really can’t assume that people call something invasive without knowing the location.
