        i love the thing, it seeds itself every year on my patch and comes up different colour each time - i leve it be; if it grows where it is it must like it there! so count yourself lucky you've been lnded with somet' that looks after itself.

          I really like the plant. Perhaps I can harvest the seeds, I have a little place in the garden where they will look great

          If you do collect the seeds, they germinate better if sown straight away.

            They come in all different colours but yellow are less common.
