Amy, have you ever collected the seed. Just wondered as I grew some and they were easy to propagate, I might try and collect the seed from mine and have a go.

Thanks everyone , I haven't collected the seed from this before Dawn but I will now that you have said about it , I will have a look today to see how the seed heads are forming .. :o)

Good idea Amy, I'll try too, they are such a vibrant red for a tiny flower, arent they.
