    This one's already six feet tall! Is that right?

    They can do that if they’re happy … they ‘rocket’ up!

    Well I'm happy! I think this plant is amazing. Love it. I think it was in a packet of wildflower seeds that i didn't know before now.

    They also have a lovely scent and if you leave it to drop seed you'll have lots next year - probably thousands :)

    The wonderful scent carries on the air of a warm summer evening … intoxicating ❤️ one of my favourites … there’s a white form too … and shades in between.  It self-seeds happily. 😊
