Dear All, can I transplant a foxglove now, or does it have to be in springtime, thanks

    Yes no problem.
    Though if you're in the South-East it may be worth waiting another week or two until we get some rain and not continuous sun and high temperatures.

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Thanks for that, they are still flowering as well

    If they are still flowering then don't move them until they've finished.

    What type of foxglove are they,  they’re biennials, once they’ve flowered they’re finished.  You can leave them to drop seeds and transplant those next year to where you want them.
    Or are they the perennial types?

    I transplanted several self seeded foxgloves this afternoon in Norfolk. Watered them in.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    Bonkers isn't it. I planted a load of perennials 2 weeks ago because rain was on the way. But it didn't come.
