My foxglove self seeded and I have some lovely plants growing this year, which I hope will flower next year . The only problem is, is that they have self seeded in the wrong spot, does anyone know if I can move them?
Yes, dig them up and move them now while they're small. They'll appreciate plenty of space so plant them about 18" apart. They'll die down and disappear in the autumn but fear not, they'll reappear in the spring and a year from now they'll be beautiful

Hello you green fingered lot :0 My foxgloves have flowered and all flowers have fallen off and left with bare stems, what do i do now? leave them, cut them ? Will they produce flowers again next yr?
I have grown some Foxgloves from bought seed, pricked them out into pots and now they are quite sturdy plants. Should i plant them out now before the winter or let them overwinter in their pots and plant them out in the spring ?
Plant them out now butterfly6. They are as tough as old boots and will survive anything the winter can throw at them. Planting now will allow them to grow a more substantial root system and will result in taller flower spikes next year.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
I grew some from seed this year too butterfly. Just like Bob says,getting them in the ground now will give them a better start for next year. I've noticed already how much mine have come on
O k will do....I get very precious about my babies and can hardly bear to plant them into the garden. I also have some Antirrhinums .....would the same apply to them ?

You might get some survive to produce a few flowers, but they're biennials really. Let them seed, or just let one of them seed if you want the space.
