    Once you have grown them on and planted them out to flower and seed then you will have them forever. They self seed very readily. Sadly often at the front of the border where they are not welcome but they're also easy to transfer.

    Thanks folks, I'm reassured now, will just have to be patient. I didn't use seed compost either, just MPC sieved. Mine are even tinier than those shown, so should I keep them indoors for a few more weeks or out in my non-heated leanto glasshouse?

    Thanks Lyn, I'll keep mine inside for another week but as they're on the dining room table will have to move them by next weekend as we will have visitors!

    Put them on the windowsill Lizzie, shame to spoil them if they’re not ready.
    My ordinary Nico have been pricked out and left out in the GH for about a week, but I’m giving these a bit extra TLC.

    @Lyn, when would you prick these out?  And would their next move be to a 3 inch pot? Mine currently look like this:
