When to move foxglove outside?

[Lamboluke]

Hi, I sowed some foxglove on 23/10 and the packet said
I could sow in October with a chance of flowers within the first year. They sprouted no problem and are now 2cm tall but still thin and young.
Am I best keeping them inside over winter and planting up in the spring or should I move them outside (still in the unheated propagator) into the greenhouse?

I'd have them in the greenhouse, without a lid on, cos they are hardy plants - More light for them then, as well

I do the same as Thelma.

Thanks for the speedy replies.
I guess the hard bit of germination is out of the way so makes sense to go outside in the green house now.
Cheers.

I save seed by cutting the stalk with the seed pods on, put them upside down in a paper tattie sack until the pods spill out their seeds. I then scatter them all over the place and see what happens.
I love foxgloves as the bees are attracted to the in great numbers. Never bought seed for years.

They are extremely tough plants, and don't need a greenhouse start. The problem you now face is getting them enough light through the winter: put them in the lightest possible place, even if that is outside (protect them with a coldframe perhaps).

In future, you just need to scatter the seed direct, where you want foxgloves to grow
