Thanks Val, no I don't have a proper greenhouse yet, I have
a makedo one. I could bring them into the stables where it is
frost free, would you water, just a little or not?

Well as I said, I'm no expert but I wouldn't want them to dry out
completely as I think that would kill them. Just water occasionally
and from the saucer in the bottom, not via the top. But someone
more knowledgeable may say differently ?


I was under the impression that it was illegal to grow surfinias
from cuttings, unless you're a grower, with a licence to do so...


Oh indeed, Ray spends a lot of his time chasing people who take illegal
cuttings from Nemesia Bluebird and sell them on for thousands of pounds. Or
rather, his agent does. Those home gardening ladies are financial leeches,
I tell you.
