Thank you aggie. I do like the flower and bees seem to like it, so happy to keep it and let it seed.

Oh lucky you emmasnan!
I grew some from seed a few years ago hoping they would self-seed, but they didn't oblige sad

I have no idea where they came from, not in any of my neighbours gardens but pleased to have them. Hope they do self seed!

I sowed some seeds a few years ago and they are gradually increasing, but not too vigorously. I like them, hope you will enjoy yours.

I have got a very few in our garden that have survived my neglect, but they are floppy.
