    Hi all,

    I have potted on some foxgloves and echinacea to grow on and plan to plant them out in the Autumn. What is the best way to keep them until then? I was going to leave them at the bottom of the garden in a spot that gets sun for about 5 hrs a day. Would this be a suitable spot?

    I put my potted-on plants somewhere where I can easily water them, and where it is sheltered from the wind (as the drying on their leaves increases transpiration and stresses them - meaning they need watering more ...). Mine are on a West facing wall, which is very sheltered, and there is a water butt on the downpipe :)
