Fox Gloves from seed

I have six foxglove plants that I have grown from seed. They are now in 5 1/2 inch pots but I can see their roots starting to peep through the bottom of the pots.
Should I plant them out now or re-pot them into even bigger pots and overwinter them in the greenhouse?

I'm pretty sure they won't need the greenhouse if they're native foxlgloves - I can't keep them down!
Tough as old boots, get them out there

Nut's right - plant them out now. Don't panic when they disappear over the winter; they'll reappear in the spring

Thanks. Out they go!
They must be in deep pots - or have cramped taptoots. I tried to dig out some the other day - first year plants - and the root broke off a foot down.
