Does anybody recognize what the plant on the left is? I bought it from the bargain shelf (cheap) and it did not have a label. Obviously it is a biennial as it has not flowered. I thought the leaves were interesting.

Looks like "Ajuga reptans."

One of the species foxgloves?

Lutleyyeltz, I think that the leaves are bigger than the ones of ajuga ,(which I have as well)but the do have some similarity.
Never thought of foxglove Worthy1 but who knows I only grow the common digitalis and this has shorter and chubbier leaves. Will have to research what other kinds there are.
Thank you both for your input.

I can't see what texture the leaves have, although they look a bit 'felted' on the stalk. Have a look at digitalis x mertonensis.

That is a pretty digitalis Worthy. I hope it is the same plant.... but....I still think the leaves are not completely the same

We'll all have to wait, it seems. Be fun next year when you find out!
