I bought these as jumbo seedlings. At the mo they look rather long and leggy. Should I pinch out to create a bushy plant and hopefully more flowers? Or will I ruin them? Plse see pics. If I do pinch out where would I do from? Thanks Louise

    I'd agree, no point in pinching.
    Just be aware - they'll revert to the standard blue colour when they seed.

    Thank you for your advice.... mega disappointed the move to std blue when seed but better to be let down now then after setting a tray expecting the same. Thanks again

    I was disappointed too - I assumed they would seed as white again.  :)
