I was given this scrap of a plant in the teeniest possible pot at a plant swap last November.  It has not only survived winter outside but grown and produced some pretty little tubular flowers and soft green foliage with reddish stems.   I have just found it hiding under apile of wisteria leaves so have rewarded it with a bigger pot and fresh compost.

Anyone know what it is?

    Thank you.  Looks like it's lutea aurea and a biennial so I shall have to collect the seeds as I have only the one and would like more.

    Brave little plant so deserves a good spot.

    I bought one of these in the clearance corner of my Gc, it was yellow.  I find it needs more water than  other plants .
