That's the ticket @Liriodendron! I'm definitely putting it in now! I have a wild flower border (slight exaggeration there...it's not even started yet) and I have all sorts of nonsense gathered up for it. Hawkweed, both orange and yellow are going in. If they die, they die. 🤣
Well you see @B3 I've been thinking. They grow on the verges round here and there's just the odd one or two. There was a little clump on the bank at the church but it got cleared by the men doing something and never came back. It doesn't exactly seem rampant. I have a little patch beside the pond where some fell out of the aforementioned pot but that's all. Now sowthistle...that's a whole nuther matter! 🤯
We've had a little patch of it on our south facing rocky bank forever (about 40 years) and it's been perfectly well behaved.
Last year a bit seeded into the gravel below and the resulting plants are greener, larger and appear more likely to pose a threat if left in situ. These ones are to be transplanted to the meadow where they will have a real fight on their hands!

I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
