foxglove seedlings.

I have a lot of seedlings where my foxgloves were situated.

They have 6 leaves, should I leave them until the spring, or is it safe enough to transplant them, I do know they can be a bit temperamental.

 

Hi I would leave till March then move them , they are not going to put much root growth on now or leaves just make sure you keep the Autumn leaves off them for now

Yes, I have cleared all the leaves.

 

I move mine in the Autumn, as they will flower in the second year and thus will make an early start to making a robust plant ready for flowering ... so I prefer to move them in the Autumn in the expectation that they can then get cracking as soon as they are ready in Spring. But that's just how I visualise it - no idea if its a good idea or not!

 

I'm inclined to agree with Kristen, better to move them now so they can settle in and establish themselves over the winter.
If you move them in March and we get a dry spring, they may struggle to get going and won't flower so well.

 

I've moved them in autumn and in spring in the past. My experience is that moving them in autumn results in them flowering earlier (around 'proper' time) next year, ie late spring/early summer. Moving them in early spring, they still flower but a bit later.

 

You could always give them a water

Or do half now and half in the spring and have them flower over a longer period everyone happy
