Hello Bob, my way with Datura stramonium has been to sow in early spring in a multpurpose compost and covered with a thin layer of vermiculite or fine grit. They were then placed in a close case at a temp of 16-18C and kept moist. Eventually brought out to to open staging, potted on as required and grown on for patio container display from mid May.
