Foxgloves

Hello Warren,
        First of all, may I suggest a signature block at the end of your messages
with your hardiness zone and/or your State of nearby city so we know where
you garden. It is hard to answer questions without the information.
        In general, Foxgloves are not temperamental plants to handle. Fall is an
excellent time to transplant around here. I plant them in part shade in
well drained soil of average fertility and mostly ignore them from there on
out except to cut back after blooming for more blooms later in the season.
I would not fertilize them when planting. Just make sure they do not heave
out of the ground over winter. Just a guess on the types you have, but I
would give them about 18 inches apart when planting. Groups of three or
more look best when in bloom.

Hi!
I'm new to this LISTSERV, and looking forward to hearing what you all have
to say.  I just started foxgloves for the first time this year.  I planted
some strawberry foxgloves from seed. They are a pretty good size now, and
will probably do fine next year.  My question is: can I move them, and when
is the best time....spring or fall?  Any other advice???  Fertilize??
distance apart?? etc   THANKS!
