Help with foxgloves.

I love foxgloves, therefore I feel very lucky to have so many self set ones in the garden, particularly in my new bed that I'm haphazardly trying to plant up (can you tell I'm new to gardening?!)

I'm pretty happy let let my garden do it's own thing a little, but I have so many in this bed that I'd like to reposition them, towards the back/middle and amongst the perennial ones I've bought. They're very small (4/6 leaves) currently. Do I wait for them to get bigger to move them? Or better to do it before deep roots?

What do people think?

A pic of my most spectacular one currently (in a random empty giant pot!)

They throw themselves around all over my garden too, OP! I’ve dug them up out of beds or pulled them out of the driveway chippings at all sizes and stages of development, and transplanted them to shady corners. A token watering and firm them in, and they do fine. Don’t wait til they’re flowering though, best to do it when they’re fairly small and just leaves.

I get seedlings in weird places - pots and even hanging baskets. If they're very small I transplant to pots, larger ones (though before flowering) into the border.

I dig foxgloves up and move them all the time. They don't seem to mind.
