thank you nutcutlet, it is however only about 18ins tall, is that about right for this time of year? makes a lovely filler for flower arranging - sounds like I can eat it too
It may get a lot bigger yet but 'tree' is a bit OTT.
They germinate at any time from spring and just keep growing for some weeks. The young stage is the most attractive, once they've been flowering for a while they are less colourful.
and they make millions of seeds
