    Thanks very much @Fairygirl, that’s very helpful. I’ll use MPC and follow your advice!

    Good luck with them @Plantminded. I'm sure they'll be fine.
    Yesterday, I had a look at the ones I did sow in autumn. They're under a pair of perspex side tables, close to the house wall, which I use for a cuppa when out in summer, but they double up as a kind of cold frame for small plants/cuttings etc. They're looking a  bit knackered, but considering the temps we've had, I'm surprised they're still alive!

    Hi @Fairygirl, they've done well considering those conditions!  I'm planning to sow mine mid March so will compare progress with you once they get going.  Good luck with the gardening year ahead!

    Good luck to you too @Plantminded.
    I collected tons of seed from the variety I sowed, so that was the main reason for sowing a few. Dr Robert Uvedale - a lovely dark variety which did really well.

    Gorgeous rich colour are they highly scented?

    Yes - although I have a very poor sense of smell @debs64, so it's difficult for me to tell sometimes. I have to be quite close to all scented plants to smell them  :)
