I recently bought some Foxglove flower seeds without doing much research, and now I've learned that they can be quite toxic. I've got some good-sized seedlings growing, but I'm concerned about how to handle them and whether I should continue growing them at all. I've read conflicting information about their safety and I'm wondering if I should just give up on them now. Also, if I let them grow to a decent size, is there any chance I could sell them?

Honestly, they're not nearly as dangerous as some make them out to be. Just avoid ingesting them and you'll be good. They won't come after you in your sleep!
You're mostly safe as long as you don't eat them. Just make sure you wash your hands after handling them and you should be fine! I've had them in my garden for years without any issues.
Foxgloves are stunning plants! Just be cautious if you have kids or pets around since they might try to taste them. As for selling, that might be tricky since they seem to grow wild in many places, but you never know—there might be a local demand!
It really depends on your area; some people might pay for them if they’re hard to find!
Exactly! Just keep them out of reach of kids and pets.
