I'ts quite attractive I think. The seed pods explode and send seeds everywhere but it is easy to get rid of if you don't like it, just pull it out, especially before seed pods form.

It grows everywhere as the ripe seed pods burst open firing them everywhere! They also grow in disturbed soil and are easily pulled out- wearing gloves! they are attractive in the right place
