This was here when we moved here. It looks sort of similar to comfrey in its growth habits. It's pretty looking too.

Foxglove aka Digitalis purpurea. They are considered biennial though I have had them live longer. They make lots of dust-like seeds and are easy to propagate.

Thanks! I think it's really pretty. Foxglove can be toxic if ingested, right?

It is toxic in high doses:
