If you can move them with as much root as possible, they should be fine (but no guarantees!). Do it asap before they start into strong growth

My guess is that they will be fine for moving because they are in pots. Our technique is to let foxgloves self-sow, leave those that are growing where we think they would be good,(with thinning as required) and lifting and replanting others - been doing that in autumn, but see no reason why it shouldn't work in early spring as well.

I've moved foxgloves when they were still quite small seedlings and they've survived - I think its a good idea to try and get as much soil around them and then they are ok - I had some self seed on the veg patch but they survived being moved - have a go you've got nothing to lose!

So I gather these are bi-annuals? I bought two last year, planted them by our front driveway gates, they produced good flowers and they've self seeded well. I have about 12 plants now growing where the seed dropped. I was looking forward to seeing all the flowers this year but it looks like I may have to wait. I might attempt to move a couple into the back garden I have anice spot I think they'll enjoy.
