It was a dark and stormy night, and as the people of uk.rec.gardening
huddled around the fire, Jessi told them this story:

Hello everyone. I happen to be one of those people who lurk around this
group and soak in the good advise but never post. Probably because I'm from
northwest Washington and not the UK, but I know there is much to learn here.

I posted a question on rec.gardens that no one has been able to answer so
far. Do foxgloves transplant well? They are popping up all over my property
and I'd love to have them around my house (and save them from the
lawnmower). Any advise you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've found them pretty much impossible to kill, even at
quite a large size (though they're easiest to transplant
when they're babies). I raised the level of a bed earlier
this year. The only thing in it was a year-old foxglove. I
just lifted it up with a fork, dumped the soil and compost
underneath, and replaced it. A couple of the outermost
leaves died, but otherwise it didn't even notice, and now
it's doing fine.
