It has certainly spread all over my garden, DD2! My tortoises eat some of it but I have to remove quite a lot too but it is bright and cheerful as it pops up between other plants :)

Gee does it come up easily? I do like it, but I dont want too much !!
Thanks ladies, I do love the bright orange flowers.

Yes, it does, I have managed to clear it from one area - although it has popped up the other side of the garden now!

I don't think you will Angela they are much prettier than Brambles / stinging nettles or even Mares-tail which we are plagued with in our garden , I sometimes feel that we are fighting a losing battle :o( ....

No wonder, you liked it. It is very nice contrast to dark green.
