    Hi Gill,

    Thats a spurge. Quite a nice structured plant, but small greenish flowers. Don't get any of the milky sap anywhere near your mucous membranes though.

    If you do, we won't need the internet to hear you screaming.

    Its a wild flower & it sounds like you're aiming for a wild flower garden so yes.

    I know a weed is a plant in the wrong place, but I personally would not bother cultivating that particular spurge.
    It looks very similar to one I have lots of in the summer and its basically a weed.
