Thank you both for your replies. I have sown each seed in its own small pot
placing them in a propagator on my office south facing window sill. They
should do very well there. I am hoping for splendid plants. I'll let you
know when and if I get germination.

Lovely things - be patient "~)

They're also very easy to overwinter. My tiny plants kept growing
almost the whole time in my unheated greenhouse (okay, so I'm in London
but not in the centre, and we've had lots of hard frosts this year).
