Sue bought a white Datura (not a Brugmansia) this year and I've allowed

to set seed which it has in abundance.
Any tips on growing these from seed?

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.
I have some growing here. Dunno where it came from as I never planted it. I
keep pulling it up but it comes up every year and is spreading over my
garden. Any tips on how to kill the blooming things?
