I wish I could grow them Rosie, they're lovely, but I believe they need acid soil? ;D

Floydie, sow the seeds and put them in your frame, because I don't think you have a greenhouse. Next year, when you plant them up, put them in a pot. Mine live in pots even though my soil is neutral to acid. I am trying to build up enough to put them into the garden. In other words, use your pretty pots next year when they are big enough. Even then I should not think you will get flowers until the following year. It is worth the wait.
