I have Foxglove seeds Excelsior Mix. The seller notes these may be considered invasive in some locations. I plan to limit to small bed 2 x 6 feet. I would like to know if this would be acceptable here in Maryland.

Expert Response
Yes, you can plant them.
They are non-native but not listed as invasive in Maryland, according to the Maryland Biodiversity Project website.
There are a few findings of them in natural places in Frederick County and far west Garrett County.
If this causes you concern you could always remove the spent flowers so that seeds don't persist.
