    I have some foxgloves in small pots and was wondering how they might fair out in the open rather than over winter in a greenhouse? Just how hardy are they when coming from 6cm pots?

    They should be tough as old boots. They normally are. I don't know if some cultivars are a bit soft, but the 'normal' ones will be fine.

      Aha, that's what I was hoping for! Many thanks I'll get them in the ground :)
