Latest self seeded patch. Every year it chooses a shady spot to do this. Surely not its ideal location?

@rachelbrooks I learnt what the seedlings looked like so I know not to weed them all out. I regularly cultivate real weeds as part orf this learning process!

Won't self seed where I live in Scotland, sadly@davieberg. Treat it like bedding and buy 3 lovely big pots every year. Could not be without it.

@ishbel Are your winters so cold they don't overwinter? I'm quite high here but with mild winters I just keep them going from year to year

I am in central Scotland in a bit of a frost pocket. They survive, sometimes move them to a less obvious spot, but fresh ones perform so much better where I want to see them from my window. @davieberg
