    Seconded! They always grow in the cracks between paving because they like the limey mortar.

     I love them, gorgeous subtle flowers and wonderful seedheads in the autumn ... never smelt anything unpleasant from ours. 

    Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.

    They are good for difficult sites such as dry shade.  They seed around and I leave them where i want them. Never invasive.
