Datura is easy. You can plant in pots or where you want them to be. Just put them in some good draining potting mix about ¼ inch deep and keep it moist but not wet. They can take anywhere from 1 week to 6 months to sprout. Most sprout rather quickly unless the seeds are old or if night time temperatures are below 60°. If you plant them in pots and wish to transplant to the ground later, wait until they get at least 2 sets of true leaves. Datura can take full blazing hot sun as long as they are well hydrated. Otherwise they do best with morning sun, afternoon shade or very bright shade.

In the picture below you can see what just emerging seedlings look like and older ones that are beginning to get their true leaves
