I grew it from seed and love it. I love it's habit and yes there are the odd self seeders but normally they appear in pots that might be in flinging distance of it but not in the ground around it, no bare soil I think is the reason. It blooms for ages and this year I've cut it back as the flowers have started to go over before it makes seed, not difficult to do when you only have one of them. I'd say hold onto it and give your friends the self seeders as little presents.
Lady G2, I'm definitely keeping it, and I agree, all those little self seeders will make lovely presents. Or could go to a charity plant stall. And I intend to keep some for myself of course

Now Bill was a real life charmer. I would say the new man in your life gets a thumbs up from me.
Thanks for the photo Nut. What a gorgeous plant! Mine only has two stems at the moment. How long do they bloom for?
They give quite a long display hc. Mine are having a good year.
In the sticks near Peterborough

A garden that i cycle past has it all over the front garden
under the window, around the lawn,
the car stands on two rows of slabs and it is both sides of the car and under it.!
but i think its so very pretty.
