Flowers behind glass. The red foxglove usually grows as a biennial, herbaceous plant. In the first year, it forms a basal rosette of leaves, from which an up to 200 cm high, mostly unbranched, leafy stem sprouts the following year. This semi-rosette plant rarely sprouts again from the basal axillary buds in subsequent years. The basal leaves, up to 20 cm long, are long-stalked and have a wedge-shaped narrowed base, the upper leaves are sessile. The leaf position is spiral, the sixth leaf is exactly above the first, which corresponds to a divergence angle of 144 degrees with two revolutions. The egg-shaped leaf blade is hairy on both sides, grey-white underneath, and the leaf margin is serrated.
