Help! I need to know what this is before it takes over!

This plant seems to have seeded everywhere! I thought it was a lupin as it started in a pot of lupins but doesn't seem to have the lupin leaves I recognise. 

Please let me know if you have any ideas!

    It is Polemonium caeruleum also known as Jacob's Ladder

    Another pic of a smaller of the plants.

  • Thank you!! Now to Google if I like it or not! Is it actually a plant or a weed?!

    Hi emma. Its a plant as opposed to a plant that few people like or want in their gardens image Weeds are plants too

    I agree. I love it too.

  • Awesome! I know I did buy one last year (although I have had about 15 pots of plants waiting to be planted since last year and I'd forgotten this one x I've Google it and love the flower so will transplant it and get some Lupin seeds too. I have some foxgloves and digitalis still to plant so the garden will look lovely soon- I hope :)
