Detailed Information

While ‘Honey Trumpet’ is a cultivar (a cultivated variety) of Foxglove, its parentage is ultimately derived from *Digitalis purpurea*, the common foxglove. Therefore, to determine the likely geographical location, we need to consider the native range of *Digitalis purpurea*.

*Digitalis purpurea* is **native to Europe, particularly Western and Southwestern Europe**. Its distribution extends from:

* **West:** Portugal and Spain
* **North:** Great Britain and Scandinavia
* **East:** Parts of Central Europe, including Germany and Poland

It has also been naturalized in other regions, including North America, Australia, and New Zealand.

**Therefore, while ‘Honey Trumpet’ can be grown in many temperate regions, its genetic origins point to Western and Southwestern Europe as its likely ancestral homeland.**
