      I should have said that with the stems straightened out the plant stands about 5' high.

          From the colour its looks like Knautia arvensis, which is a quite pretty wildflower - but not so easy to get rid of.

          Hi Pete, well, the Bees love it so I won't be wanting to get rid of it, but I will want to keep it under control.:snork:

            Seeds itself all over one part of our garden, recently removed over 300 seedlings just from the gravel path.
