I've just bought some seeds for plants I've never heard of, let alone grown. Has anyone got any experience of growing these things, or am I going in completely blind?
I got Bat flower, orchid tree, japanese tree lilac and datura-which I have grown before.

Anyone with any hints or tips before I crucify these seeds in my attempt at growing them, greatly appreciated.

John Innes seed sowing compost - small seed tray - cover lightly with soil, I use an old kitchen sieve. Completely wrap tray with cling film, to keep moisture in, and then in a heated propagator. Watch every day, as they seem to appear at random. Remove film and keep moist. Worked last year and seems to be ok this year. Time will tell!!!!!!!!!!!!!
