Livingstone Daisy Seedlings

Evening All,
I have grown some Livingstone Daisies from seed and they were very leggy so when I potted them on I planted them a bit deeper. They have continued to grow very leggy/floppy (as per photos) even though they are in a greenhouse and, presumably, getting sufficient light. Does anyone know if this is normal for these or do I need to give up on them?
Many thanks.

    They look fine to me. Just give them a good hardening off period before planting them out. That’s very open, woody looking compost, it must be hard to keep things watered in that.

    Thats just reminded me I forgot to grow them this year. Curses. I can feel a visit to the garden centre coming on.

    Thanks DaveGreig that's helpful, I'll start hardening them off now with a view to planting them out at the end of the month.
    Not a great fan of the compost, it was pretty compacted to start with and needed breaking up and is not particularly good to work with so won't be buying again. Bought some SilvaGrow this week which is so much finer and better to use.
