  If you leave it, it'll seed around. They colonise poor soil usually, so they can be very useful 
  I love them, but some people don't. 

  It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
  
  
  
  I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

  No longer newish but can't think of a new name so will remain forever newish.

  I don't know where it came from (apart from Wales, ha ha) but I'm sure there are no others like it in the garden. Will definitely keep the seeds to spread elsewhere 😊

  I have them but as they seed so prolifically in my garden I am forever pulling them up and just leave a few plants and cut off dead flowers; I still end up with a lot of them!
